Since safety is one of the top concerns of car shoppers, we do everything we can at Maryland Ford to ensure our car buyers are informed of the various car safety features both used and new Ford cars offer.
Car safety features generally fall within one of three main categories: active, passive, and structure and design.
Car Safety Features: ACTIVE
Features that fall under the active car safety category are those that will provide safety or protection at all times not just during an accident or emergency situation. Examples of active safety features include anti-lock brakes, power steering, car stability systems and traction control.
Car Safety Features: PASSIVE
Car safety features that are part of the passive category are generally those that don't do much until an emergency or accident occurs. Examples of passive safety features might include seatbelts and airbags both which are in the car at all times, but don't activate unless needed.
Car Safety Features: STRUCTURE AND DESIGN
The used and new Fords offered at our Salisbury Ford dealership offer a wide variety of design styles. You'll notice that each model car has it's own set of safety features built into the car's design, and that crash test results and overall safety ratings are posted on the window of each car to help you see how the cars have performed in crash situations.
If you are wondering whether the Ford you're interested in buying comes with specific car safety features or not, stop into the Salisbury Ford dealership and our car experts can help you. We can show you the car safety ratings of each type of car you're interested in and answer any questions you have.
