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 fall of 1998, the C-Class repeated test was redeemed. A new test copy was equipped with front airbags included in the basic complete set throughout Europe. Also there were side pillows in the doorway. However, with lateral impact, with the settings of the chair for an adult middle-height man, the indulged door hit the chest before the pillow managed to completely reveal. It is not clear what the results would be if the chair was adjusted under a higher person.
Front punch:
The left front stand shifted back by 154 mm. The passenger salon did not suffer seriously, while retaining the integrity, and both front doors could open normally. The steering wheel shifted back by 123 mm and up to 49 mm. However, the niche for the legs was very crumpled, and the brake pedal moved back to 270 mm. The driver's head was protected by a safety pillow. However, the shift 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 removed chest from hitting the steering wheel. Although the left knee hit the front panel to the left of the steering column, the defense 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 was bad: if the blow came slightly above, the knee would have fallen directly into this castle, and if it had penetrated deeper into the panel, then the risk of injury increases. When hitting a niche for the legs, it was significantly deformed, so the protection of the feet and the ankles was recognized as bad. The level of protection of the front passenger in general turned out to be good, and the airbag - effective, although the pressure of the chest belt speaks about 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 it 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 Middle Height Driver. With a significant difference in the driver's growth, the level of security could also change. A good protection was provided by the head and the diploma of the driver, but 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 a child falls at the race, complied with the requirements of the law. One was under the fuzzy 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 it.
