CommentsAdult occupantThe body structure is stable and suffered minimal deformation. The single stage and tethered airbags and belt pretensiones with load limiters worked well and kept the loading of the passengers quite low. There are hazard structures in the area of the driver and passengers knees. All doors could be opened easily after the impact.

Child occupantThe child restraint for the 3 year old was the Ford branded Römer Duo Plus, belted with the 3 point seat belt. The head was well protected while the chest acceleration was quite high. The 1 1/2 year old child was placed in a rearward fitted Ford branded Römer Baby Safe plus, belted, and well protected. The neck loads were lightly above the higher performance limits. Both CRS had permanent labels attached to the seats.

CommentsAdult occupantThe dummy readings indicated good protection to the head.The protection offered to the driver’s legs was weak due to rearward pedal displacement. There were hazardous structures in the fascia that posed a risk to both the driver and passenger knees. The body shell was not capable of withstanding further loading.

The installation instructions on both child seats were insufficient and not permanently attached to the seat. Nissan recommends not to put children in the front passenger seat. The 18 months old dummy showed adequate to good protection.
