2013 Mercedes C Class CRASH TEST IIHS - Small Overlap Crash Yest
2013 Mercedes C Class CRASH TEST IIHS - Small Overlap Crash Yest 2013 Mercedes C class built after December 2012 40 mph small overlap IIHS crash test Overall evaluation: Marginal Full rating at: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mercedes/c-class/2013 The Mercedes C class was redesigned for the 2008 model year. Beginning with 2010 models, an airbag for the driver's knees was added to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. Beginning with 2013 models built after December 2012, the side curtain airbags were reprogrammed to deploy in small overlap frontal crashes to further improve occupant protection (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). Two tests of the C class were conducted, one a 2012 model and the other a 2013 model built after the side curtain airbags were reprogrammed. In the first test, the driver side curtain airbag did not deploy; in the second test, it deployed as intended. The ratings and vehicle specifications listed are for the second test, but because the car's structure was not changed, the structural rating is based on both tests. Structure - In both tests, the driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. In the second test, footwell intrusion measured as much as 50 cm at the footrest, and upper interior intrusion measured 10-11 cm at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's right foot was trapped by the brake pedal, and the pedal had to be cut off to free the foot. Restraints and dummy kinematics - The dummy's movement was well controlled in the second test. The dummy's head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. Injury measures In the second test, measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to left lower leg would be likely in a crash of this severity. Injuries to the right lower leg would be possible. ►THANKS for taking the time to visit, I hope you SUBSCRIBE and enjoy the upcoming videos!
