These ratings only allow the comparative
assessment of a seat's ability to protect its occupant in a
typical crash. They cannot be used as a guide to whether a particular
injury is more or less likely, since we still do not know enough about
the mechanisms of whiplash injury to state this confidently.
It is important to remember that all occupants must adjust their head
restraints correctly whether they have a "POOR" or
"GOOD" rated seat. No head restraint can offer full
protection if it is incorrectly adjusted. The ideal adjustment is as
high as the top of the head, and as close to the back of the head as
possible - touching is best. |
NOTE: Seat ratings indicated with * are supplied
in association with Euro NCAP, of which Thatcham is a member. |
