The body of Ford Fusion cars is a five-door station wagon, load-bearing structure, all-metal. The body frame includes a base, sidewall, roof and parts interconnected by electric welding (point, seam and arc). The body is a non-separable structure with sufficient rigidity, and carries all the units of the car, attachments of the body and interior details.

Attachments include side doors, hood, tailgate, front fenders, front and rear bumpers. The side doors, hood and tailgate are hinged to the body, the front fenders are bolted.

The side doors are equipped with sliding windows, and the front doors can be equipped with power windows. To protect against side impact, the doors are reinforced with a special impact-resistant beam.

The glass of the side doors, sidewalls and tailgate are bent, polished, hardened. Windshield glass is three-layer. Glasses of a wind window, sidewalls and doors of a back are pasted in the corresponding openings of a body. The tailgate glass is electrically heated.

Both bumpers are plastic, the front bumper is reinforced with a metal beam. The front and rear bumpers are painted in body color and attached to the body with bolts, screws, plastic clips and metal rivets with tear-off cores. A polymer energy-absorbing element is installed under the rear bumper. The radiator cover is removable, attached with nuts to the front edge of the hood.

The front seats are separate, with mechanical adjustment of the backrest angle, the longitudinal position of the seat and the height of the driver's seat cushion. The seat headrests are easily removable, height-adjustable, mounted on the backs of all seats.


The rear seat includes two cushions and two backrests. If necessary, the rear seat cushions and backrests are folded in parts to increase the volume of the luggage compartment.

Rear seat belts for all passengers inertial, diagonal.

In order to improve passive safety, the car is equipped with an SRS system. It includes airbags and curtain airbags, as well as front seat belt pretensioners that are triggered at the time of an accident.

The volume, temperature, direction and intensity of air flows are regulated by switches installed in the control unit for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

Exhaust ventilation of the body is carried out through deflectors with valves that are installed under the rear bumper.

The vehicle is equipped with removable front and non-removable rear towing eyelets, as well as mudguards on all wheels.

Note. Do not cover the body with a cover made of dense material during a long-term parking of the car. A rain-soaked cover creates steam when heated in the sun «bath», the body paint underneath may peel off and swell. In addition, under gusts of wind, the cover moves and erases the paint on the protruding parts of the body.


Note. Do not place rubber objects on the body. After a while, the rubber will leave on the surface (especially light) indelible stains.



Note. If, over time, the rubber products on the body of your car have lost their presentation, wipe them with a hand cream containing glycerin or silicone grease sold in auto parts stores.


Note. From time to time, run a thin metal plate between the side glass and the door rubber to remove dust and sand and protect the glass from scratches.


Note. After washing, be sure to remove the rubber mats and dry the interior. Moisture under rugs is the main cause of floor corrosion.
