The test report documents one of a series of twelve crash tests to evaluate the side impact aggressiveness attributes of various deformable barrier face configurations. The configurations to be used are designated as 'Lowered Stiffness', 'Altered Profile' and 'Lowered Bumper'. Testing was conducted. The test vehicle was structurally unmodified but contained additional padding on the driver's side door, the left rear quarter panel and the left rear side header. Occupant responses of two side impact dummies were measured.
