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.
Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the B-pillar and head restraint during rebound. Head acceleration from this hit was low.
There was little change in the position of the dummy's feet following the crash test. Injury risk was low.
