The passenger compartment of the Tipo remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both driver and passenger and FIAT demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those in different positions.

In the full-width frontal test, measurements of chest deflection indicated marginal protection of the chest for both the driver and rear passenger. Phoneview full version free download mac. Deceleration of the head also indicated a marginal level of protection.

In both the side barrier and the side pole impacts the Tipo scored maximum points, with good protection of all critical body areas. Tests on the front seats and head restraints indicated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated a marginal level of whiplash protection was offered here. An autonomous braking system that operates at low speeds typical of city driving is available as part of an optional safety pack but the performance of this system is not assessed in this rating. In the frontal offset test, readings of neck tension in the 10 year dummy indicated poor protection for that body area.

Chest protection of the 6 year dummy was rated as weak. In the side barrier test, protection was good for all critical body regions. However, the back-rest of the restraint of the 6 year dummy became separated from the base and the score was penalised for this. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing restraint to be used in that seating position.

However, the information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag did not meet Euro NCAP's requirements and the system was not rewarded. All of the child restraint types for which the Tipo is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in all seating positions other than the rear centre seat which FIAT deem unsuitable for all restraints.
