The passenger compartment of the C3 Aircross remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Citroën showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver and rear seat passenger was good or adequate for all critical parts of the body. In the side barrier test, protection was good for all main body areas and the C3 Aircross scored maximum points. Even in the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. However, a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection. An autonomous emergency braking system is available but, as it is an option, it is not included in this assessment.
In the frontal offset test, protection of both the 6 and 10 year dummies was good or adequate. In the side barrier test, protection was good for all critical body areas. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. Universal restraints which use the adult seatbelt should not be used in the rear centre seating position but, otherwise, restraints could be properly installed and accommodated.
The bonnet provided good or adequate protection over much of its surface, with some weak or poor results recorded along the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored maximum points in Euro NCAP's tests. Protection of the pelvis was, for the most part, good with some weak areas. The autonomous emergency braking system can detect pedestrians but is not included in this assessment as it is not standard equipment.
A seatbelt reminder is standard for the front and rear seats. The speed assistance system uses a camera to recognise local speed limits and allows the driver to easily set the limiter appropriately. A lane assistance system warns the driver when the car is drifting out of lane. An autonomous emergency braking system is available but, as it is an option, it is not included in this assessment.
