Testing / Toyota Highlander
Toyota Highlander Hybrid (2008)
| Toyota Highlander Hybrid | -- | During the first roll there was very little deformation and due to high elasticity, an over 25% recovery from peak deformation. The sunroof did not break and the windshield experienced localized cracking, but did not fail completely. Pull tests were conducted on both the driver side doors of the vehicle after the first roll. Each door required less than 15 lb-f to open. During the second roll the windshield fractured further. No other windows broke during this roll. Pull tests were conducted on both the driver side doors of the vehicle after the second roll. The two rear doors required less than 15 lb-f to open. The front two doors were stuck behind the top front corners of the two rear doors due to deformation and could not be opened without the rear doors opened first. Once the two rear doors were open the front doors required less than 15 lb-f each to open. |
About the Test
The test was a two roll event. The planned difference between the rolls was the pitch of the vehicle; 5 degrees in Roll 1 and 10 degrees in Roll 2 and the position of the Hybrid III dummy. For Roll 1, the dummy was located “out of position;" leaning towards the passenger side approximately 45° in order to simulate approximately 1g of lateral acceleration. For Roll 2, the dummy was left in the resting position from the previous roll.
