Occupant diversity beyond the primary crash cases
D05 examines how the assessed configuration protects a wider range of occupant sizes, rear-seat users and defined child configurations. It also covers child-restraint integration, child-presence functions and out-of-position or classification risks.
Primary frontal occupant protection belongs to D03. Primary side, rear-impact and rollover protection belongs to D04. D05 scores additional diversity coverage and shall not count the same outcome twice.
| Criterion | Proposed scoring ownership | Points |
|---|---|---|
| D05.1 | Additional small and large occupant coverage | 25 |
| D05.2 | Additional rear seating diversity | 15 |
| D05.3 | Child restraint and child occupant protection | 30 |
| D05.4 | Child presence detection and response | 10 |
| D05.5 | Out-of-position and classification protection | 10 |
| D05 total | 90 | |
Occupant diversity
Evidence identifies stature, age-related vulnerability and seating positions actually represented. Small, midsize and large occupants are examined only through methods validated for the profile.
Rear seating diversity
Rear positions receive their own evidence where required. Front-seat results cannot be assumed to represent every rear occupant, restraint condition or body size.
Child occupants and CRS
Assessment covers installation, compatibility, anchorage, orientation, labelling, airbag interaction and dynamic performance for the designated child configurations.
Presence, classification and position
Child-presence detection, occupant classification, suppression and adaptive-restraint functions are assessed for actual capability, misclassification and out-of-position limitations.
Claim and gate boundaries
The common child-protection gate remains separate from D05 points. A high total cannot compensate for a valid gate failure, and incomplete evidence is unresolved or unrated rather than a measured low result.
An AUTOSAFE result records measured performance for the stated configuration and assessment envelope. It is not a recommendation that a vehicle is suitable for every household or every child.
