Comments:

Large mass and height of the landing should contribute to a good passage of crash test. However, the results of the frontal impact according to the Euro NCAP method showed that the driver risks getting damage to the chest and legs. But the car showed itself perfectly with a lateral blow, which was facilitated by side airbags mounted in the backs of the seats. However, the differences in the results of the frontal and lateral strokes did not allow EURO NCAP experts high. In addition, the protection of children failed-an 18-month passenger risks getting a neck injury during a frontal blow, and his head is not protected with a side. Pedestrians are also significant when they arrive at them PT Cruiser.

Frontal blow:

Neither the driver nor the front passenger was sufficiently protected. PT Cruiser was created taking into account US security requirements, according to which the driver must remain safe, regardless of whether the seat belt will be fastened or not. And when cars are intended for the European market, security systems are tuned exclusively for fastened passengers and driver. This difference greatly influenced the design of the PT Cruiser salon. A special crossbar intended to protect the knees of not fastened riders, with a test according to the Euro NCAP method, threatens to inflict serious injuries to the feet and knees of the driver and the front passenger.

Safety of passenger children:

Equipment for transporting children was selected according to the recommendations of the manufacturer and installed on two ISOFIX mounts in the rear seat. Both mannequins were placed in the same chairs. The mannequin imitating a child over 3 years old was well protected with the frontal and side strikes, unlike 18 months. He risks getting a neck injury when placing a chair forward.

Side blow:

The height of the seats PT Cruiser and the side airbags worked well and protected the driver from damage, which helped the car get a good rating.

Pedestrian safety:

The front edge of the hood and the bumper Pt Cruiser are injured for pedestrians. Only individual sections of the hood partially soften the blow.
