Inspired by Legendary Muscle Sedans
Fusion is Ford’s entry into the midsize sedan market. Inspired by the Ford 427 concept car (itself a tribute to the
company’s landmark 1960s muscle sedans), Fusion is based on Ford’s CD3 (Mazda 6) architecture. Fusion has a bold exterior, remarkable driving dynamics, good fuel economy, advanced safety and plenty of interior room. All are combined with serious attention to value and the environment.
Early results show that almost 40 percent
(1)
of Fusion customers come from competitive vehicles — such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Civic, Volkswagen Passat and Nissan Altima. Fusion customers might also move up from Focus or move over from Mustang. Some may even be previous Taurus owners.
Strong Market Position
Fusion brings personality and attitude to the midsize sedan. Before Fusion, the midsize sedan market was dominated
by look-alikes with conservative design and lackluster performance. Now, Fusion makes a clean break. Three selling points include how Fusion:
• Looks — standout styling
• Moves — dynamic driving
• Feels — serious substance Fusion will never be mistaken for anything else. It redefines
the midsize sedan. It is a car people buy because they want to, not because they have to.
• Active All-Wheel Drive
• Satellite radio and DVD Navigation System
• I-4 Appearance Package

i-VCT (intake Variable Cam Timing) Duratec 23 - 2.3L I-4 Aluminum Engine Duratec 30 - 3.0L V-6 Aluminum Engine Exceptional Ride and Handling Fully Independent Front and Rear Suspensions Rack-and-pinion Steering
PERFORMANCE/HANDLING
i-VCT (intake Variable Cam Timing) is featured on both
Fusion engines
Duratec 23 - 2.3L I-4 aluminum construction engine offers
160 horsepower and 156 lb.-ft. of torque
Duratec 30 - 3.0L V-6 aluminum construction engine
combines 221 horsepower with 205 lb.-ft. of peak torque
Exceptional ride and handling begins with chassis stiffness.
Fusion’s torsional rigidity is 12.7 percent higher than the base CD3 platform. Increased rigidity allows the four-wheel independent suspension system to absorb driving harshness and respond more precisely to steering inputs for exceptional driving dynamics
Fully independent front and rear suspensions keep Fusion’s
tires firmly planted and are key to confident handling
Rack-and-pinion steering is responsive and agile with just the
right “feel”
Four-wheel disc brakes offer smooth, linear braking with
little fade
Key Features
NOTE: Feature availability: Latest Dealer Ordering Guide.
• Precise ride, handling, steering and braking
• Two engines and three transmissions are available
• Fully independent front and rear suspensions

Transmissions
• The 5-speed manual transmission is standard with the Duratec 23 on all models. This transmission offers smooth shifting and performance with outstanding economy
• A 5-speed automatic transmission is optional with the Duratec 23 on all models
• A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard with the Duratec 30 on SE and SEL series. This technically advanced first-in-class transmission offers exceptional shifting smoothness and performance

Engines
Fusion is great to drive, thanks in part to its two available engines. Both engines have:
• Aluminum construction
• Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) valvetrain
• Four valves per cylinder
• intake Variable Cam Timing (i-VCT)
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
• Hydraulic engine mounts that help isolate engine vibration and movements from the chassis
Duratec 23 — 2.3L I-4 Engine
• 160 horsepower and 156 lb.-ft. of torque
• 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission
• Balance shaft helps lessen engine vibration — to perform smoothly, much like a V-6 does
• Variable cam timing provides performance and fuel economy
• Single exhaust
Duratec 30 — 3.0L V-6 Engine
• 221 horsepower and 205 lb.-ft. of torque
• 6-speed automatic transmission
• Dual exhaust
i-VCT
Both Fusion engines feature i-VCT (intake Variable Cam Timing). This technology:
• Allows the camshafts to operate the intake valves at different times in the combustion cycle, based on speed and load
• Adjusts timing for maximum performance and efficiency
• Results in outstanding efficiency under low load conditions like idling or highway cruising
• Results in remarkable power when accelerating
NOTE: Feature availability: Latest Dealer Ordering Guide.
A CLOSER LOOK: Balance Shaft
Some engines have a tendency to rock back and forth as the cylinders go up and down. At times, passengers can feel this rocking motion inside the vehicle. To prevent this, engineers often add a heavy tube that runs through the engine and parallel to the crankshaft. Called a balance shaft, this device has weights that offset the rocking motion. In the Fusion’s I-4 engine, the balance shaft helps lessen engine vibration and lets the engine run smoothly at idle and under acceleration.
A CLOSER LOOK: Neutral Towing
Some Fusion owners may wish to flat-tow (four-wheel-down towing) their vehicle behind a motorhome or other vehicle.
• Fusion equipped with the Duratec 23 - 2.3L I-4 engine and 5-speed manual transmission may be flat-towed safely – The maximum speed limit while towing is 70 mph – The parking brake must be fully released – The transmission must be in Neutral
Fusion models equipped with an automatic transmission must not be flat-towed, as it may damage the transmission and will not be covered under the base vehicle warranty.

Engineering Insight: MP3 Capable Audio Systems
When a vehicle is MP3 capable, its CD player can play CDs or MP3 format CDs.
• MP3 is digital audio that’s encoded (recorded) in a compressed format
• Just as people can burn CDs, MP3 format CDs can be burned on a computer, but they hold more tunes (CDs can hold approximately 15–20 songs while MP3s can hold 100-plus)
• MP3 format CDs allow people to create their own playlists and include only their favorite songs
Be sure your customers know not to apply labels to their
MP3 discs or the discs will jam in the player!

Size 14 Shoes
Engineers made getting into and out of Fusion’s back seat easy. They did this by pushing the rear door back toward the C-pillar. This way, someone with size 14 shoes can enter and exit without brushing the B-pillar scuff plate or the back of the front seat. To test the design, designers wore size 14 shoes and got in and out of Fusion countless times. This attention to detail is what sets Fusion apart from the competition.
The driver’s cockpit has round and easy-to-read analog gauges. Their satin-finished bezels set a performance tone.

SAFETY/SECURITY
2007 Fusion
Safety/Security
Designed to exceed future U.S. government roof-strength standards, adding even more safety and protection in
certain types of collisions. Fusion’s roof is designed to be 36 percent stronger than the proposed U.S. roof crush standards that won’t take effect until 2009
Rear-door child safety locks add to security and peace of mind by disabling the interior door handles so the rear doors can’t be opened by a small child sitting in the rear seat
Energy-absorbing interior panels help dispense and absorb crash energy away from vehicle occupants
Emergency glow-in-the-dark interior trunk release handle permits release of trunk lid from inside
First- and second-row side curtain airbags are standard on all Fusion models. This system offers head protection in side impacts for front and rear outboard-seated passengers. In the event of a side impact, the side curtain airbags protect the head of all outboard-seated passengers. The side curtain airbags will deploy and stay inflated for an extended period of time, to help protect occupants from multiple side impacts. Side curtain airbags are located in the roof side rail behind the headliner and are triggered independently of the driver and front passenger airbags. Side curtain airbags will not interfere with a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat. Combined with the front-seat side-impact airbags, the side curtain airbags help provide protection for both head and chest in certain side-impact collisions
Front-seat side-impact airbags — In certain types of crashes, side-impact airbags increase driver and front passenger protection
Air curtains feature “roll fold” technology that deploys the airbags from the headliners alongside the interior panels and windows. If an occupant’s head is against a window, the airbag is designed to slide between the glass and the occupant as it fills
Personal Safety System
®
tailors the inflation level of the front passenger airbag based on the weight on the seat, crash severity and whether the safety belt is being used. On the driver’s side, deployment is tailored to seat track position, which considers the driver’s distance from the wheel, along with crash severity safety belt usage
Traction Control (requires V-6 and ABS) helps improve
vehicle control on wet or slippery surfaces at all speeds by controlling engine power to reduce torque to the drive wheels, which helps prevent excessive wheel spin
Four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps drivers
maintain steering control in emergency or hard-braking situations. When the computer-controlled sensors indicate wheel lockup during hard braking, the Anti-lock Braking System electronically “pumps” the brakes several times per second
Side door intrusion beams extend across the two
strongest areas of the door frame, helping to protect against passenger compartment intrusion in certain side-impact collisions
Safety through strength and flexibility — Fusion’s B-pillars
are constructed to a thickness of a quarter-inch of steel for a stronger vehicle top and more flexible bottom. This allows more efficient energy absorption below occupant level, while increased steel strength at torso level and above helps prevent passenger compartment intrusion

Class-exclusive Active All-Wheel Drive System (AWD)
Fusion is a front-wheel drive vehicle with an available Active All-Wheel Drive System (AWD).
Class-exclusive Active All-Wheel Drive System enhances the level of traction and control in all weather conditions. On the highway, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels for good efficiency. When increased handling or traction is required,
AWD actively controls power to all four wheels independently. This gives Fusion a balanced level of control.
• Seamless operation with no switch and totally transparent operation
• Tuned with an emphasis on performance while offering all-weather driving confidence
• Constantly predicts traction conditions and delivers torque to the appropriate wheel by monitoring:
– Vehicle speed – Throttle input – Steering angle
• Helps eliminate torque steer and helps balance the vehicle when cornering
• A quarter turn of the slipping wheel will activate the torque transfer
• An active on-demand coupler can deliver the precise amount of torque to the rear wheels
• Paired with Traction Control, AWD can transfer 100 percent of the available torque side-to-side

Key Features of the Personal Safety System
®
Dual-stage Driver and Front Passenger Airbags
• The dual-stage system provides the capability of deploying in the full-powered mode or with less pressure in the Stage 1 mode
• In less severe frontal crashes, airbags inflate with less force — or not at all — helping to reduce the risk of injury due to the inflation of the airbags
Electronic Front Crash Severity Sensor
• The sensor provides the Restraint Control Module (RCM) with an early indication of the severity of the impact, allowing the RCM to calculate crash severity quickly
Front Outboard Safety Belt Usage Sensors
• The sensors monitor whether the driver and front passenger are buckled up
• At higher speeds, airbags need to deploy with greater pressure if front-seat passengers haven’t buckled their safety belts
• At lower speeds with safety belts buckled, airbags can deploy with less pressure, helping reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries
Driver’s-seat Position Sensor
• The sensor tells the Restraint Control Module (RCM) where the driver’s seat is in relation to the steering wheel
• The closeness of the seat to the steering wheel will help determine the airbag pressure that will be deployed
• If the sensor determines that the seat is close to the steering wheel, Stage 1 (lower pressure) will be activated. Stage 2 is deactivated at this time
Restraint Control Module
• The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is a sophisticated computer located behind the center of the instrument panel. The RCM receives signals from the front crash severity sensor and judges how fast the vehicle is decelerating
• It processes signals from the other Personal Safety System sensors and determines how the dual-stage front airbags will deploy
Front Outboard Safety Belt Energy Management Retractors
• Retractors gradually allow the safety belt to loosen if necessary, reducing the force of the belts on the occupants’ chests
Front Outboard Safety Belt Pretensioners
• Pretensioners cause the front safety belts to tighten, holding them firmly against the occupants before the airbags inflate, to help reduce the force of the belts on the occupants
Front Passenger Sensing System (FPSS)
The Front Passenger Sensing System (FPSS) determines when the front passenger seat airbag should be activated or deactivated. It uses a front passenger seat weight sensor and safety belt tension sensor to recognize when:
The front passenger seat is empty If the system detects that the front passenger seat is empty, the front passenger airbag is turned off and a “passenger airbag off” warning light comes on
A small person or object is present If the system detects a small object on the seat like a purse or briefcase, the airbag is turned off and a “Passenger Airbag Off” warning light comes on. The front passenger airbag will also be turned off if FPSS detects the presence of a properly installed child restraint seat
An adult is properly seated If the system detects a properly seated adult, the front passenger airbag is activated
FPSS does not lessen the importance of keeping children properly restrained in the back seat.
The Personal Safety System features a number of sensors in the vehicle that all work to provide outstanding passenger protection in certain frontal collisions. A primary benefit is that it judges how best to help protect front-seat occupants by considering several crash factors when deploying the front airbags. The system then determines how to adjust the deployment and inflation pressure of the front airbags — all in a matter of milliseconds. The Personal Safety System is standard on all models.

Traction Control uses the ABS computer and sensors to monitor wheel slippage at any speed. It helps improve traction on slippery or loose driving surfaces by using engine controls to reduce the amount of torque being sent to the drive wheels. Engine controls are:
• Fuel injection cutoff
• Ignition spark retard
Traction Control helps provide a confident driving experience under adverse road conditions — improving vehicle traction and steering control — without sacrificing dry pavement performance:
• When the lane is slippery on one or both sides
• As the vehicle pulls out from icy parking lots or highway shoulders
• During acceleration when cornering

Additional Features
NOTE: Feature availability: Latest Dealer Ordering Guide.
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) enhances braking by not only helping prevent wheel lockup, but by automatically distributing braking power to the wheels where it will be most effective
• When computer-controlled sensors indicate wheel lockup during hard braking, ABS electronically “pumps the brakes” several times per second
• This helps the driver maintain steering control in hard­braking situations, especially when the road is slippery
Government Crash Test Ratings
Fusion received high ratings in all crash testing performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
• In the full-frontal test, vehicles are crashed into a fixed barrier at 35 mph, which is like a head-on collision between two similar vehicles, each moving at 35 mph
• The side-impact crash test represents an intersection-type collision with a 3015-lb. barrier moving at 38.5 mph into a standing vehicle
• Full frontal crash ratings should only be compared between vehicles within the same weight class (plus or minus 250 lbs.)
• For a complete list of NHTSA results, visit safercar.gov
