Comments:

The manufacturer decided to modify the Zafira pedal assembly after the pedal was not disconnected in the first test, as it was provided by the designers. Experts allowed re-test. The safety of security systems has been criticized. The test results were satisfactory, but the body was significantly deformed, which could be dangerous with a more serious collision. The front sedaws risked to get injured from contacting legs with rigid torpedoes. Children's chairs worked fine.

Front punch:

With a more serious collision, Zafira body could not ensure proper protection of passengers. The head and chest driver hit the steering wheel, which in different circumstances could lead to injury. The knees and legs of both front sedimons were dangerous damage due to contact with rigid elements torpedo. However, the deepening for the legs was not deformed. When hitting the pedal should be disconnected, however, despite the modification of the pedal node, this did not happen. The central seat of the seat of the seats is equipped with only a belt belt, which ensures the worse protection compared to the three-point.

Security of passenger children:

The front airbag for the passenger is included in the basic bundle of the car and can be dangerous for a child placed in this place in the children's chair "against the direction of movement". The warning was placed on the right side of the front panel, but it did not mention the probabilities of obtaining severe or lethal injury at such an installation. Experts would recommend the manufacturer to finalize the message. Universal children's chairs Kiddy 2000 took part in the test. They worked normally, only having passed a high load on the neck of the 18-month passenger. Stickers with installation instructions Chairs were incomprehensible and could easily come off.

Side strike:

Protection with lateral impact was good, despite the lack of side airbags. Most parts of the body were safe, although the load on the chest driver was reduced due to the interaction of the mannequin and the seating, which would not have happened to the body of a real person.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection average. The front edge scored 0 points.
