Driver-Passenger Info:
HIC 357-227
Chest G's 37-33
This 3-star rating applies dual cab 4x4 Pikups built from January 2012, when several production changes were introduced. Dual cab vehicles built prior to this date have a 2-star ANCAP rating (see separate ratings). Dual front airbags, antilock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake distribution (EBD) are standard. Electronic stability control (ESC) is not available. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. There are no top tether anchorages for child restraints so this vehicle is unsuitable
for transporting children under the age of four.
FRONTAL OFFSET CRASH TEST
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 3 pts,
chest 1.6 pts, upper legs 2 pts, lower legs zero pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape reasonably well in the offset crash test. The dash structure partially separated from the a-pillar and the road wheel caused substantial footwell intrusion. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 160 mm and upwards 55 mm. The steering wheel hub moved 35 mm rearward, 89 mm upward and 31 mm sideways. The a-pillar moved 50 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash the driver's door could be opened with high manual effort. The tailshaft moved sideways and contacted the fuel tank. The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. Steering column and dash components were a potential source of injury for the driver's knees. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag. The edge of the centre console was a potential hazard for the passenger's right knee.
