Beginning with 2007 models manufactured after January 2007, the reinforcement beam in each door was modified to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). Beginning with 2008 models, side airbags were made standard (they had been optional in 2006-07 models.Injury measures:Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that serious neck injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. Serious skull fracture and/or brain injuries as well as a fracture of the pelvis also would be possible.Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.Head protection:Driver — The dummy's head was hit by the window sill and the side torso airbag, producing high head and neck injury measures.Rear passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the interior side trim. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.
