The system also helps to provide enhanced protection for vehicle occupants while at the same time increasing compatibility with other
vehicles in a frontal collision.
First one is the outstanding protection of a child's head, neck and
spine in frontal collision which is roughly 80 % of accidents.
Pre-acceleration and force limitation allow the occupants to be temporarily isolated from the effects of the crash, significantly reducing the risk and severity of
injuries in a frontal collision.
Seatbelts The front seatbelts are equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiting retractors to help minimize injury
potential in a frontal collision.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) Body Structure The Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body - structure enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility
in frontal collisions by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
The PLUS Test is a voluntary test, which measures a seat's ability to provide protection of the head and
neck in frontal collisions.
What most parents perceive as being the greatest strength of a harnessed FF seat, that a child doesn't move forward
much in a frontal collision, is also the greatest weakness.
Over a million rearward - facing seats are in use in Sweden, and we do not know of any cases where a child in a rearward - facing car seat has been seriously
injured in a frontal collision.
In all passenger cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., energy - absorbing steering columns are designed to collapse in the event of occupant
contact in a frontal collision, reducing the potential head and chest injuries to the driver.
US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests scored the Prius Good

Only cars scoring «Good» (the IIHS's highest ranking from among Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor) and demonstrating the strongest
showing in frontal collision prevention are included here.
Mid-engine design is also a way to provide additional empty crush space in the front of the automobile between the bumper and the windshield, which can then be
used in a frontal collision to absorb more of the impact force to minimize penetration into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
This new structure is an integral part of the Accord Hybrid's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which helps crash
performance in a frontal collision.
The Fiesta was actually named a top safety pick by the IIHS in 2013, but its marginal rating in the IIHS's small overlap front crash test — one of the organization's most challenging evaluations — contributes to an elevated risk of
death in a frontal collision.
However, the actions it takes (e.g. tensioning seatbelts, adjusting seat position) are likely to be most
effective in frontal collisions and in side impacts.
Additionally, the Jeep SUV received a 4 - Star Overall Rating from the NHTSA, losing
points in frontal collision and rollover evaluations.
All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically
inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll - Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G - force.
Its impressive suite of safety technologies includes the Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body structure, which utilizes a series of interconnected front frame members to absorb and redirect collision energy around the passenger
cabin in a frontal collision.
Often times there is car
damage in frontal collisions; however, the increasingly sturdy occupant compartment, seatbelt, and air bags often allow cars to withstand head - on collisions without serious damage to the occupants.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) Body Structure Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body - structure enhances occupant protection and crash
compatibility in frontal collisions by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.

A collapsible brake pedal is available on all models to reduce the risk of foot injuries in frontal collisions
When a car crashes
in a frontal collision, all the occupants continue to move forwards until their seatbelt or harness stops them, holding them in place so they don't hit the inside of the car.
In a frontal collision, the seat is not moving forward and the weight of the car seat is not adding onto your child's weight.
