Ford Motor Company Annual Report 2005 11Ford Motor Company Annual Report 2005 PB
Commitment to Leadership
Safety – for the driver, for the passengers, for the family in the other vehicle and for our employees –
is paramount for Ford.
We brought laminated glass windshields to market in 1927. We began factory installing safety belts
in 1956. In 1999, we introduced BeltMinder™
, which has significantly increased safety-belt usage. We were
first to offer head and chest side air bags, standard emergency trunk releases and AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
(Roll Stability Control). Our Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego are the only full-size cars to earn the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety “Top Safety Pick-Gold” award in 2005. The vehicles tested were
equipped with side air bags, as included in an optional safety package. Ford and Volvo engineers continue
working together to develop new safety innovations.
We consider safety innovation a responsibility to our company, our customers and our world. The
Volvo C70, pictured above in the Nevada desert, features an all-new innovative air-bag system and other
advances that help enhance safety for our customers.
