Crash Tests
Long
before the smart was allowed out on the roads, it had to undergo a
multitude of crash tests. The smart safety system was developed and
improved by means of precise measurements.
Contained within the smart Safety Concept is the experience of one
of the largest and most experienced automotive manufacturers in the
world, that of Daimler-Benz. It was only this that made it possible
to build a car that is suitable for cities, comfortable and safe all
at the same time.
In the event of a frontal impact the full-size airbags protect the
driver and passenger. These are part of the standard smart equipment
as well as seat belt tensioners and seat belt force limiters.

After
all, your safety is of utmost importance to us. Side airbags are also
available as an optional extra. They provide protection in a side-on
collision.
The impact regions (arrangement of the crash box and impact zone)
of the smart match those of the other vehicle in the accident, i.
e. the smart is zone compatible. Furthermore, the smart has consciously
not been designed as a super lightweight but instead has enormous
strength in the most important places. By this means the smart is
also deformation compatible, i. e. the vehicles in a collision can
activate each other’s protection zones.
