Safety - What the Auto Press Says
The 2010 Mercury Milan earned the highest possible score, five stars, for protecting both driver and front-seat passenger in government frontal-impact crash testing. The car also earned five stars for protecting the driver in a side-impact crash test, and four stars for protecting the rear-seat passenger.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Milan “Top Safety Pick” status because the car earned the highest possible score, “Good,” in both frontal- and side-impact crash tests, and offers stability control as standard equipment.
Every Milan features four-wheel antilock disc brakes. Six airbags are standard. They include frontal airbags, torso-protecting side airbags for both front seats, and full-length head-curtain airbags to protect the heads of all passengers in a side-impact accident.
A Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) which includes Ford’s unique cross-traffic alert to help detect vehicles crossing behind the Milan when the car is reversing (useful when backing out of parking spots) is available as an option on all but base model Milans. A Driver Vision Package adds both the BLIS and a backup camera.
SYNC-equipped Fusions have an emergency telematics system similar to GM’s OnStar. In the event of an accident that causes airbags to deploy, SYNC will immediately call 911 using any Bluetooth-enabled phone present in the car.
Ford’s unique MyKey system is not yet offered on the 2010 Milan. Those who can afford to wait should note that MyKey is likely to appear on the 2011 edition. MyKey-equipped vehicles come with a separate set of keys that parents can give to new drivers. When those keys are used to start the car, the car's limits are restricted. Using a password, parents can limit the car’s top speed, for instance, and cap the radio’s volume – exposing teens to the car’s full capabilities only as their driving skills merit it. It’s available now on the Mercury Mariner, Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs and the Ford Taurus sedan.
