General information (Escort 5)

The body and subframe on all models are made of stamped and welded parts, including the crumple zones in the front and rear parts of the body and the rigid central part. Multi-stage anti-corrosion protection is used to protect against corrosion. It consists of phosphating some groups of parts, spraying wax in closed sections and PVC coating of the bottom.

All vehicles use inertia-type seat belts, and since 1994, an automatic front seat belt tensioner called a "grabber" has been used. In the event of a severe frontal collision, an inertia sensor releases a coil spring that tensions the front seat belt. Once the automatic belt tensioner is activated, it cannot be reused.
