Comments
The cage structure of the car died in several places and was unsafe for occupants. Seat belts and airbags were not sufficiently adjusted to each other.
The cage structure of the car died in several places and was unsafe for occupants. Seat belts and airbags were not sufficiently adjusted to each other. The 147 took a maximum score in the side impact. The side airbag proved particularly effective.
In the frontal crash flew past the head of the driver airbag and hit the dashboard. Also called the wheel of the car. Hard components under the dashboard led the knees and thighs in danger. The 147 is equipped with two separate side air bags: one for the body and one for the head. Both were very good to cope. The airbag for the child with a switch could be deported. Warnings of the danger of an 'active' airbag were inadequate. Attaching the seat in the back proved difficult with a lot of flip and shuttled backs. Otherwise the seats worked well. The pedestrian safety of the 147 is woefully bad.
