Comments:
For the frontal and side blows, the car was awarded only two stars. With a frontal impact there was significantly crumpled niches for the legs, and the rigid elements of the front panel design were dangerous for the right knee, hips and the pelvic area of \u200b\u200bthe driver. In the autumn of 1998, the C-Class repeated test was redeemed. The new test copy was equipped with anterior airbags included in the basic configuration throughout Europe. There were also side pillows in the doorway. However, with lateral impact, with the settings of the chair for an adult middle-growth man, the indulged door hit the chest before the pillow managed to completely open. It is not clear what the results were, if the chair was adjusted under a higher person.
Front punch:
The left front stand shifted back by 154 mm. The passenger salon was seriously damaged, retaining integrity, and both front doors were able to open normally. The steering wheel shifted back by 123 mm and up to 49 mm. However, the leg niche was very crumpled, and the brake pedal moved back to 270 mm. The driver's head was protected by a safety pillow. However, the displacement of the steering column was recognized as dangerous for lower or high drivers, so the assessment of the head protection was reduced. The neck defense was good, and the security systems were revealed to the chest from the strike of the steering wheel. Although the left knee hit the front panel to the left of the steering column, the protection of the knee, the hips and the pelvic region was recognized as good. Right knee hit the front panel to the right of the steering column lock. However, the assessment turned out to be bad: if the blow had occurred a little higher, the knee would have come straight into this castle, and if it had penetrated deeper into the panel, then the risk of injury increases. When the niche hit the leg for the legs was significantly deformed, so the protection of the feet and the ankles was recognized as bad. The level of protection of the front passenger generally turned out to be good, and the airbag is effective, although the pressure of the chest belt indicates the weak protection of this area. The right foot of the passenger hit the central console strongly strongly, as noted on the mannequin.
Side strike:
The side airbag in the door (basic equipment) worked from the blow and got up between the driver's head and the door, but before this happened, the chest still managed to hit the car's trim, indulged because of the strike. At the same time, the chair was adjusted under the driver of medium height. With a significant difference in the driver's growth, the level of security could also change. Good protection was provided by the head and the diploma of the driver, however, the rating for the chest was low due to the contact of the ribs with the car's trim.
Pedestrian safety:
Three of the six places where the head of the child falls at the race, meet the requirements of the law. One was under the filling neck for oil and two over the amplifiers of the hood cover. Two points also turned out to be better than average, and one - worse. It was located at the junction of the hood cover and wing. None of the places of the possible strike of an adult pedestrian corresponded to the requirements, although the point near the washer nozzles was close to this.
