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.

The dummy's head bottomed out the airbag and hit the steering wheel underneath. Head acceleration from this hit was high.

Forces on both legs and feet were low, indicating that significant injury was unlikely.
