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.

Tested vehicle: 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4-door 4wd with optional front and second row head curtain airbags with optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
The Toyota 4Runner was redesigned for the 2003 model year. Beginning with 2006 models, structural modifications were made to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes, and starting with 2008 models, side airbags were made standard.

View of the vehicle after the crash with doors removed, showing the side airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
Smeared greasepaint shows where the driver dummy's head was protected from being hit by hard structures by the side airbags.
Smeared greasepaint shows where the rear passenger dummy’s head was protected by the side airbag.
