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.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit only the head restraint.
Forces on the lower left leg were high enough to indicate the likelihood of injuries.
