Front Impact
The force structure of the body has not been deformed by the impact. Owing to the separate air-bag, the knees of the driver are well protected against the elements of the interior. The company Peugeot has also proved its effectiveness for people of different constitution. Moreover, the holding systems for the front passenger worked properly – the knees of the dummy didn’t even touch the front panel.
Side Impact
For passenger protecting from side impacts Peugeot 308 2007 got the highest marks.
Children Safety
The holding systems used in the crash-tests:
- 18-month old child - Britax Romer Baby-Safe, opposite the direction of the motion
- 3-year old child - Britax Romer Duo Universal, forward the direction of the motion
In order to place a children seat on the front seat of the car the air-bag can be switched off, however, the information about the current state of the air-bag is provided not enough clearly to the driver. The presence of ISOFIX fastenings on the read side seats is not marked fairly.

- Front air-bags
