Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well.
Dummy movement was well controlled. Smeared greasepaint on the airbag indicates the dummy's head contacted it near its center.
Forces on the lower right leg were high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.
