Comments:

After late opening of the airbag in the first test, the manufacturer has made changes to the design of the sensors and the front belt load limiters. However, even after that, the driver's defense did not reach the level, like competitors. After hitting the pedal disconnected - as it was intended. When hitting the AUDI A6, the AUDI A6 corresponded to all security requirements entered into force in Europe in 1998. The test for the protection of pedestrians has shown that the blow to the front edge of the hood and the bumper with a large share of the probability will lead to injury. Pedestrian's head protection is a little better.

Front punch:

When hitting the body structure has retained integrity, however, the load on the chest driver was slightly higher than the norm due to the impact of the belt and airbag, which indicates the risk of injury. In the lower part of the torpedo, rigid elements were found that can cause injuries to knees and increase the danger of injury for the top of the legs and the pelvic region. Although the bracket lever adjustment mechanism of the tilt of the steering column is covered with a protective overlay, it does not provide sufficient protection from the driver's knees, and the column lock is not covered at all. Finally, the function of disconnecting pedals when hitting significantly reduced the risk of damage to the feet and ankles.

Security of passenger children:

The extreme places of the rear row of seats are equipped with seat belts, designed to fix children's chairs, however, the function of the automatic constipation was not evaluated by experts due to non-compliance with EURO NCAP requirements. The pictogram of the European Association of Manufacturers (ASEA), warning about the danger of placing the children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the airbag of the front passenger, was placed on the central rack and not completely visible. However, the same information contained a warning, in two languages, in the windshield. However, it did not mention the likelihood of damage dangerous to life, as required by Euro NCAP, and was also short-lived: when the glass is replaced, it will most likely be lost. In the test, children's seats of their own development of Audi, established "in the direction of movement,", however, the labeling of the securities of the safety belts was not color, which does not comply with the requirements of Euro NCAP. Experts also noted an unreliable fastening of installation instructions.

Side strike:

The basic package of A6 included side airbags in the backs of the chairs. The driver's pillow "covered" his hand, chest, abdominal and, to some extent, pelvic departments, but the breast protection was not so good as in some classmates.

Pedestrian safety:

The front part of the A6 was especially attendant, although the hood points where the head of a pedestrian falls, showed itself a little better.
