Voluntary UNECE95 test	Performed - Approved

COMMENTS:

The driver and passenger airbags offered good protection of the head. However, there were hazardous structures in the driver’s area of the fascia that could be impacted by the driver’s knees. The protection to the driver’s lower legs was poor due to high levels of foot pedal displacement and the poor structural performance of the footwell and floor. Only the top equipped version of this car (pack III) is available with airbags so lower versions do not have airbags.

	CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM	Head / Chest	CRS type	Installation	Position
18-month-old child	N/A	Protected / Good	0/0+/1	Belted
3-year-old child	N/A	Protected / Fair	0/0+/1	Belted

COMMENTS:

The dynamic performance of the two child restraints was adequate. However, the installation instructions on both child seats were insufficient and not permanently attached to the seat. The recommended child seats were found to be incompatible with the belt system on the vehicle. It was not possible to disable the passenger airbag to allow for the installation of a child seat on the front passenger seat. Never place a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger seat vehicle with an active airbag!
