Comments:
An additional score was accrued alarm on unusual safety belts (SNRB), which made C-Class by the second car in the history of the tests that received five stars. In the 2001 test, the estimate was four stars, however, changes in the EURO NCAP evaluation system were made, stimulating automakers to install SNRB. In general, C-Class has proven itself a strong car that protects its passengers. After the frontal blow, the driver's door opened normally. The security curtain did not open completely with lateral impacts that during other circumstances may result in injury.
Front punch:
From the collision with the steering wheel head and the driver's chest were protected by a pillow and a belt. However, the chest had a large pressure. It should be noted that in the design of the front panel Mercedes there are no elements that could injure the drivers' knees. Niche for foot has moved well. The pedal node shifted to a short distance, insufficient to create threats to feet and ankles. The central seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing better protection compared to the waist.
Security of passenger children:
The airbag for the front passenger is included in the basic configuration and is a danger to children placed in this place in the chairs against the direction of movement. This was reported only by a small pictogram and a text message on the passenger sunscreen visor. No of these mention reports that the possibility of obtaining a child with severe or even fatal injury. The manufacturer promised to improve the quality of inform. The chairs showed themselves well with a frontal impact, but the fastening with a seat belt was difficult.
Side strike:
To protect the chest, abdominal and pelvic departments, airbags are installed in the door. They worked satisfactory, but a large load comes to the driver's hand. The curtain "shot" from the roof to protect the heads of the saddles of both rows. She worked well, however, when he hit the pillar, it was not fully revealed, and in other circumstances a mall would not fulfill their functions.
Pedestrian safety:
Evaluation of pedestrian protection was carried out according to the old technique, and on a new evaluation of this car was not carried out, so the results are not given.
