Ford deals<\/a> are set to get even safer as innovative safety technology makes its way into the compact B-MAX.<\/p>\n

Active City Stop helps prevent or reduce the severity of collisions in stationary or slow-moving traffic by monitoring traffic up ahead and applying the brakes automatically if it senses a collision.<\/p>\n

The technology was used in the Ford Focus for the first time last year but has now been launched for the B-MAX models to make city driving even safer.<\/p>\n

"Low speed front-to-rear collisions are one of the most common accidents in urban traffic," said Roland Schaefer, safety analyst for Ford of Europe.<\/p>\n

"You don't have to be travelling fast to get injured. Even at speeds of just 10mph you can suffer soft tissue neck injury."<\/p>\n

The B-MAX will be the first compact car to have the system in place, making Ford deals<\/a> much safer.<\/p>\n

Awarded an Advanced reward by Euro NCAP in 2011, Active City Stop can completely prevent an accident up to speeds of 10mph and reduce the severity of collisions at 18mph.<\/p>\n

Other safety features in the B-MAX include the Hill Launch Assist, which prevents the car rolling backwards during parking or hill starts, and a rear view camera to help avoid parking collisions.<\/p>\n

"These technologies, coupled with B-MAX's compact chassis, and tight turning circle supported by carefully tuned electronic power-assisted steering, enable B-MAX to be far greater prepared for the demands of even the most congested city," said Joerg Beyer, Ford vehicle line director.<\/p>\n

Ford has hit the headlines for other good reasons this week, with the Ford Fiesta named as Diesel Car Magazine's Used Car of the Year 2012 and Best Small Car.<\/p>\n

The Ford Mondeo was also named as Best Large Car by the publication, showing that the manufacturer has something for every type of motorist.<\/p>\n
