SAFETY FEATURE





1. Impact Absorbing Structure for Frontal Collision

The impact absorbing body structure of the '02 ES 300 can effectively help absorb the energy of impact in the event of a frontal or side collision. This structure also realizes high-performance occupant protection through the use of reinforcements and members that help to minimize cabin deformation.

2. Impact Absorbing Structure for Side Collision





^ Impact energy of a side collision directed to the cabin area is dispersed throughout the body via pillar reinforcements, side impact protection beams, floor cross members, thus helping minimize the impact energy finally directed to the cabin.





^ A Head Impact Protection Structure has been adopted. With this type of construction, if the occupant's head hits against the roof side rail and pillar in reaction to a collision, the inner panel of the roof side rail and pillar collapses to help reduce the impact.
