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.
During rebound, the dummy's head hit only the head restraint as indicated by smeared greasepaint.
Forces on the lower right leg were just high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.
