Optional rear sensors make parking and manoeuvring both safer and easier. An audible warning helps you judge the distance between your car and any obstacle behind you. So when you find a space you can demonstrate to any spectators how to park quickly and confidently.

Optional rain-sensing wipers offer six levels of sensitivity, springing into action automatically at the first drop of rain and increasing in speed to deal with whatever the weather can throw at you. Aside from the added convenience, it means one less thing to think about. This option also comes with lighting technology designed to make night-time driving easier, safer and more comfortable. Auto-headlights turn on when the sensors detect that light is fading. So at dusk, at night, or when you enter a tunnel, you can simply continue to enjoy the drive, knowing Fiesta will take care of all those mundane functions.

This feature comes as standard, on the entire Fiesta range. When you arrive home after an enjoyable night out, flash the left stalk and the headlamps will stay on for a short while, illuminating the way to your door. So your clothes aren’t ruined by tripping up or stepping through mud.

With a car this attractive and fun to drive, you want to know it’ll be secure, wherever you park it. That’s why we have incorporated so many security features. The first line of defence is the standard perimeter alarm on the Fiesta Titanium and optional on Fiesta. Then there are the locks: all high-security, anti-burst and shielded with strengthened mountings. And for extra measure, there’s our patented Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) immobiliser, which means only your pre-programmed key will start the engine.
