Frontal star ratings indicate the chance of a serious head, neck, chest, and leg injury to the driver and right front seat passenger in a frontal crash. Instruments measure the force of impact to each dummy's head, neck, chest, pelvis, legs, and feet. Since the rating reflects a crash between two similar vehicles, make sure you compare vehicles from the same weight class, plus or minus 250 pounds, when looking at frontal crash star ratings and Overall Vehicle Scores.
