The dummy readings indicated good protection to the head.The protection offered to the driver´s legs was weak due to rearward pedal displacement. There were hazardous structures in the fascia that posed a risk to both the driver and passenger knees. The body shell was not capable of withstanding further loading.

The child seat for the 3 year old child was unable to prevent excessive forward movement during the impact, even with a large excursion the head of the dummy did not have contact with the rear of the backrest of the driver seat which is very important. The installation instructions on both child seats were insufficient and not permanently attached to the seat. Nissan recommends not to put children in the front passenger seat. The 18 months old dummy showed adequate to good protection.
