#SIDE IMPACT VOLVO 45 MPH DRIVER#

We perform frontal impacts, rear impacts, side impacts and roll-over tests and test cars. If a vibration is felt in the steering wheel above 45 MPH, the problem is usually out-of-round rear tires. Technician B says that the recommended method of tire rotation is the modified X method.

Let our friendly sales staff assist you in. We crash test car-to-car at different speeds and from different angles. Technician A says that the recommended method of tire rotation is side to side. 'Since all tested vehicles are impacted by the same-size barrier, it is possible to compare all vehicles with each other when looking at side crash protection ratings,' says Beuse. Considered safer than Class A motorhomes, Super C RVs are built on truck chassis that have been crash tested. Head injuries, which are not included in the star rating, are reported separately as what NHTSA calls a 'safety concern' if the likelihood of head injuries is considered excessive. The force of the impact to the dummies' head, neck, chest and pelvis is measured, but star ratings indicate only the chance of serious injury to the chest. A 3,015-pound barrier is then slammed into the vehicle at 38.5 mph.

In the NHTSA test, two dummies that represent average-sized men are placed in the driver seat and in the rear, directly behind the driver. Both tests simulate the type of side collision that would typically occur in an intersection, by crashing a deformable barrier into the vehicle being tested. The Volvo S40 was redesigned during the 2004 model year (the new design entered production in January 2004 and the earlier design remained in production into February 2004). As with the frontal tests, the side-impact tests that the two groups conduct are also quite different.
