| Head/neck | |
| Torso | |
| Pelvis/leg | |
| Rear passenger head protection The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, as well as the window sill and window frame of the rear passenger door and the pillar behind the door. These impacts did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate. |
