COMMENTS

In the frontal impact the head neck and chest of the driver were well protected. The head of the passenger bottomed out the airbag and hit the dashboard but it still received adequate protection. The passenger’s chest was well protected by the restraint systems. The driver and passengers knees readings remained in an acceptable level and it was demonstrated that these parts oer a similar level of protection to occupants of dierent sizes or those sat in dierent positions. The footwell area was nearly undeformed after the impact. The bodyshell was rated as stable and was capable of withstanding further loading.
