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 very well.
High forces on the neck and chest occurred when the dummy's head moved into the airbag.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
