Comments:
For protection for the front and lateral blows, A4 earned four stars, however, the last experts marked, denoting the high risk of injury to the driver when hit by side. With such results on the compliance with security requirements for lateral shocks, 1998 could not be speeches. With a frontal impact, an estimate for the protection of the chest was reduced due to the front panel indulged. Torpedo hard elements represented a serious threat to the knees, hips and the pelvic areas of the front seds.
Front punch:
When you hit the windshield stand from the driver, shifted back by 104 mm. The body did not lose the integrity, for the opening of the driver's door I had to make a small effort, and the passenger door opened normally. The steering wheel shifted back to 71 mm and up 2 mm. Niche for the legs was not deformed not much, and the brake pedal shifted back only 77 mm. The driver's head was protected well, and its contact with the airbag is stable. The steering wheel shifted back for a short distance. Neck protection is also recognized as good. The load on the chest driver from the seat belt reached a dangerous level, which was aggravated by the front panel indulged inside the cabin. The left knee of the driver hit the casing right under the steering column, selling it to the very castle of the column. An assessment for the protection of his knee, hips and pelvis was lowered due to the fact that with a deeper penetration of deep into the panel, the blow would have fallen directly into the castle itself. Right knee hit the tray for small things. The rating was again reduced: if the point of contact was located a little left, would affect the bracket of the steering column, and with a deeper penetration of the knee inside the panel, it is possible to get to the column itself. Front panel support can be dangerous for knees. Minor deformation of the leg niches speaks about good protection of the feet and ankle. Protecting the passenger, in general, was not bad, although the safety belt load and was dangerous for his chest. There was also a chance to damage the bottom of the legs. The assessment will not change for passengers of various types, in various positions, or for the various circumstances of collisions.
Security of passenger children:
Information on warning stickers was poorly composed, which made it difficult to understand, but the operating manual is written in an affordable language.
Side strike:
Head defense is recognized as good, but the load on the "ribs" mannequin speaks of poor breast protection. Indications of mannequin sensors recorded a normal level of protection of the abdominal and pelvic departments.
Pedestrian safety:
Child's Head Protection - Two control points from six corresponded to the requirements (above the filling neck of the oil system and on the keptness of the hood, where there were no obviously dangerous elements. Protection of the top of the legs - none of the three control points corresponded to the requirements. Protection of the adult head - no control The point did not comply with the requirements, although the place over the wiper was close to this, three points softened the blow better than the average, and three - worse. The most dangerous point was the place on the corner of the hood cover, right above the loop. Foot protection - None of three points corresponded Requirements, all showed the result below average.
