The Focus was recognised for Active City Stop, which monitors the road ahead and brakes automatically if a collision is imminent; and Lane Keeping Aid, which uses a camera at the top of the windscreen to monitor the road ahead, so as to detect if the car drifts out of its lane. If it detects an unintentional lane departure, it applies a small amount of steering input to alert the driver.
The Focus also earned a maximum 5-star crash safety rating, including the highest possible dynamic score for child protection in both frontal and side impact collision tests. Focus also did extremely well in the adult and pedestrian safety categories.
