Comments:

With a frontal blow, the Passenger Salon Kangoo was significantly deformed. Although the passive security systems showed a good result, the driver risked to get injured chest due to severe damage to the car. Protection when hitting the side is also not devoid of flaws. For example, a door rack from the side of the shock is strongly rushed inside the cabin. The 18-month passenger was placed in the chair, fixed using the ISOFIX two-point fasteners. It provided good protection, however, with a frontal impact of a 3-year-old passenger, a large impulse from impact was transferred. Pedestrians are poorly protected.

Front punch:

Passive security systems included single-stage airbags and belts with pretensioners and load limiters. They performed their functions well, however, the load on the chest cells of both seds was above the norm due to a significant deformation of the car body. The driver could get injured chest. He is also a passenger, risked damaging his knees because of the strike on the rigid elements of the torpedo. Each seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, which increases the degree of protection.

Security of passenger children:

The tests recommended by the manufacturer of Kiddy EasyFix armchair ("against the direction of movement") were used for 18-month and Britax Romer Duo ("in the direction of movement") for 3-year passengers. Both prevented the head of the head of passengers about the solid elements of the cabin, however, the load on the chest older was higher than the norm. Marking on chairs is durable, but it lacks clarity, especially this concerns the fastening procedure using ISOFIX. On both sides of the sunscreen visor passenger placed warnings. They are reported on the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" to the place of the front passenger with an active security pillow. These warnings also lacked clarity, which could be misleading and lead to serious consequences.

Side strike:

Protection with lateral impact was good even without side airbags. However, the load is uncharacteristic for real conditions distributed between the mannequin and the chair, having undermining the testimony of the sensors in the chest. Abdominal and pelvic departments can be injured from an indulged inner door panel.

Pedestrian safety:

Only two small areas of the surface of the hood ensured the mitigation of the strike. The bumper and the front edge of the hood turned out to be very solid. Bad result.
