Safety Features

1. General

The impact absorbing structure of the '04 Camry Solara provides a body and frame construction that can effectively absorb the energy of impact in the event of a collision.

Also, an excellent occupant protection performance has been realized by adopting a frame construction that effectively absorbs and disperses the impact energy, and a strong body construction has been made possible through the use of the optimally allocated frame materials around the cabin.

2. Impact Absorbing Structure for Frontal Collision





^ The front end of the front side member has adopted an impact absorbing structure in order to efficiently disperse the energy of a frontal collision to the front pillar and the under members~

^ The cabin consists of an impact absorbing front body and members that function to minimize longitudinal and transversal fractures, and helps reduce injury to the occupants.

3. Impact Absorbing Structure for Side Collision





^ Impact energy of a side collision directed to the cabin area is dispersed throughout the body via pillar reinforcements, side impact protection beams, outer reinforcements, floor cross members, etc.

^ This dispersion of energy keeps the energy directed to the cabin to minimum level. As a result, the deformation of the cabin is minimized.

4. Head Impact Protection





^ A head impact protection structure has been adopted. With this type of construction, if the occupant's head hits against the roof headlining and pillar garnish in reaction to a collision, the roof headlining and pillar garnish collapses to help reduce the impact.

^ A head impact protection that is molded into the substrate of the roof headlining has been adopted as a safety measure. In addition, a spray polyurethane headliner has been newly adopted. Resulting in reduced noise and vibration, and a good fit.
