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.

The dummy's head moved well forward into the airbag during the crash.

Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
