Test details:

The Volkswagen Passat was redesigned for the 1998 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, its head moved toward the window sill as floor deformation tipped the driver seat toward the door.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
