Euro NCAP Ford C-MAX 2010 Crash test

Frontal Impact takes place at 64 Km/h, 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 29km/h into a rigid pole ADULT OCCUPANT
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the front passengers' knees and femurs. Additional tests demonstrated that similar protection would be offered to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier impact, protection of most body regions was good, and that of the chest was adequate. In the more severe side pole test, dummy readings of rib deflection indicated marginal protection of the chest. Protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision was good. CHILD OCCUPANT Based on dummy readings in the impact tests, the car lost only a fraction of a point for its protection of the 3 year infant. Forward movement of the head was not excessive in the frontal impact and the dummy was properly contained within the protective shell of its restraint in the side barrier test, as was the 18 month dummy. A switch is available as an option which disables the passenger airbag, allowing a rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. The test cars were not equipped with the switch and no assessment was done. The car had labels which warned clearly of the dangers of using a rearward facing restraint in the passenger seat without first disabling the airbag. PEDESTRIAN
