Driver restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy’s head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved 21 cm upward and 15 cm to the right, resulting in little airbag cushioning for the chest and leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward side structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s head and torso, and the driver's seat tipped forward and toward the B-pillar. The side curtain airbag did not deploy, leaving the dummy's head vulnerable to contacts with side structure and outside objects.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Side: original test

Tested vehicle: 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport 4-door 4wd with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2007-13 models

The Jeep Patriot was introduced in the 2007 model year.

The side impact crash test ratings also apply to Jeep Compass, a vehicle similar to the Patriot but with a different roofline, beginning with 2007 models.
