(A limited number of Buick Century models were produced for the 2005 model year.) The Pontiac Grand Prix was redesigned for the 2004 model year.Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof in two places.Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head accelerations from the roof contacts were low.Left to right:Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test. Larger photo The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well. Larger photo Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the roof and head restraint during rebound. Head accelerations from these hits were low. Larger photo Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
