The diagram shows a saloon car viewed from above. The safety features are described when the mouse rolls over different areas of the car.

Cross beams in the engine compartment help protect passenger compartment in a side impact.

Front crumple zone collapses in an impact. This absorbs the energy.
In severe impacts the engine is pushed under the passenger safety cell and the steering column collapses.

Doors are reinforced with heavy-duty steel braces add protection in impact.

Rear crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact. The boot deforms to redirect energy away from the petrol tank to prevent it rupturing.

Door hinges and locks remain closed in impact but can be opened to allow escape.
