Safety Features

1. General

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

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

2. Impact Absorbing Structure for Frontal Collision









The front end of the front side member is used as an impact absorbing structure in order to efficiently disperse the energy of a frontal collision to the front pillar and the under members.

3. Impact Absorbing Structure for Side Collision









Impact energy of a side collision that is directed toward the cabin area is dispersed throughout the body via pillar reinforcements, side impact protection beams, outer reinforcements, floor cross members, thus helping minimize the impact energy finally directed to the cabin.

4. Head Impact Protection (Coupe models only)





^ A Head Impact Protection Structure is used. With this type of construction, if the occupant's head hits against the roof headlining or pillar garnish in reaction to a collision, the roof headlining or pillar garnish collapses to help reduce the impact.

^ A Head Impact Protection Structure that is molded into the substrate of the roof headlining is used as a safety measure. In addition, a spray type polyurethane headliner is used, resulting in reduced noise, reduced vibration, and a good fit.
