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 reasonably well.
The airbag deployed so late that the dummy's head nearly hit the steering wheel. Forces on the head were moderately high.
Despite moderate intrusion into the driver footwell area, injury measures on the legs and feet were low.
