Comments:

Since June 2003, the Saab 9-5 began to install an intellectual alarm about the non-set seat belts for the driver and the front passenger. For this, additional points were displayed, which allowed the car to get a rating of five stars. Saab 9-5 provides a balanced protection of the driver and the front passenger with the frontal and lateral strikes, and the maximum points have been accrued for the latter. Saab children's seats were installed “against the direction of movement”, however, during the side blow, they showed too large loads on the chest cells, creating the risk of injury. The protection of pedestrians was evaluated by "medium", but there was a real threat to injure in the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs. The manufacturer also initiated a side strike on a pillar to testify that the side pillow for the head (in the basic configuration since August 1997) meets all the requirements. However, this was not a separate pillow, but was an additional separation of the side pillow for the chest installed in the back of the chair. After such a test, the experts issued a verdict that Saab 9-5 was the safest car tested at that time.

Frontal blow:

The passenger salon retained integrity, although traces of deformation of the doorway were seen. The driver’s safety pillow provided constant contact with his head, but at the time the touch was not completely opened. A well -thought -out beam in the knee area ensured the distribution of the load around the knees, but this was not enough to protect the hips when hitting the knees in the zone around the steering column.

Safety of passenger children:

The test used the children's seats recommended by the manufacturer, installed "against the direction of movement." Although they worked well with a frontal impact, with a side they could not hold the heads of the riders within their limits. In addition, an icon, reporting the danger of installing a children's chair opposite the front seat pillow, was incomprehensible. The marking on the chairs themselves also did not make clarity. She reported the inadmissibility of such an installation of the chair and explained how it was done. The path of the seat belt when fixing the children's chair “in the direction of movement” is not indicated exactly.

Side blow:

The side pillow for the breast and head effectively protected the driver from a blow with extraneous objects. However, according to the EURO NCAP rules, in the absence of a security curtain, a lateral blow should not be carried out, so its results did not go into the overall offset. The filler in the area of \u200b\u200bthe safety safety strap also softened the blow. The driver’s chest was protected by the side of the chair, coupled with a pillow of safety, the lower part of the door did not attend the injuries of its pelvic region.

Pedestrian safety:

The hood of the car provided good protection. But the bumper and the front edge of the hood showed a weak result in ensuring the safety of the foot of pedestrians.
