Comments:

Mercedes decided to re-test the modernized car after the first strike the left front wheel crumpled the driver's foot recess. The modernized car deserved three stars, however, the fourth did not have enough just a little. The manufacturer said that cars ordered after the test will be upgraded. Although the knees will not hit the traumatic elements, due to the magnitude of the displacement of the brake pedal, the risk for the driver's feet is still high. The car complied with security requirements for lateral strike introduced in Europe in October 1998. With the first test in the same year, the e-class did not have enough points up to four stars. When the side impact of the post in the Euro NCAP program appears, Mercedes asked him to spend it, as the side airbags were included in the basic configuration for this model since 1999 model year, so all requirements for such a test were performed. Security Improvements provided the e-class four stars. The head with a side impact protects the shutter that is installed on the vehicle, starting with VIN 210065 WDB JF65G9Y A 962233.

Front punch:

When the doorway strikes, the doorway was deformed unexploded, and the body structure remained integrity. The left front wheel crumpled the groove for the driver's feet, breaking the weld seams of the wheel arch. The front airbags worked well, and the front belt load limiters reduced the risk of chest damage, which was present in the first test. The area near the knees included rigid elements that can damage their knees, hips and the driver's pelvis.

Security of passenger children:

On the windshield was a text warning informing about the rules for installing a children's chair. This warning was performed in the same language, and could turn out and get lost when replacing the glass. The text did not mention the possibility of obtaining severe or even mortal injury to the child sitting in the children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the airbag. Both mannequins were located in the branded chairs "face forward". Instructions for fastening the belt are made using color coding in accordance with the requirements of R44.03, however, the marks denoting the belt path are removed too easy.

Side strike:

In the basic configuration, the E-class was equipped with side airbags in the doorway. The driver's pillow defended his hand, chest and abdominal cavity, but did not provide security to the extent that it was performed in other business class cars.

Pedestrian safety:

The surface of the hood ensured normal protection of pedestrians. The zone where the head of the head of the child-pedestrian scored half of all possible points. This zone satisfied the requirements of the norms. The test with an adult pedestrian discovered two problem points, although with the rest of the metas, where the head of a pedestrian falls at an accident, everything was in order. However, the front of the car was very attendable.
