Comments Front impact The occupant compartment and footwell remained stable during the impact. The dummy results showed that the front seat occupants' knees and femurs were well protected. Lancia showed that the restraint systems would provide similar levels of protection to the legs of different sized occupants and to those sat in different seating positions.
Side impact The car scored maximum points for its performance in the side impact and pole tests.
Child-protection In the frontal impact, the chest of the 3 year dummy was exposed to high vertical accelerations, indicating a risk of injury. The passenger's airbag can be disabled via the onboard computer to allow a rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information presented to the users regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The label warning against using a rearward facing child restraint in that position without disabling the airbag was provided in all of the languages where the vehicle is sold. The presence of ISOFIX anchorages in the rear outboard seats was not clearly marked.
Pedestrian protection The bonnet leading edge offered only a poor level of protection for a pedestrian's legs. The bonnet top was also rated as predominantly poor for the protection offered to an adult's head.
