requirements of FMVSS 226, Ejection Mitigation.

Tests were conducted on August 30–September 24, 2013 on a 2013 Ford Explorer,

manufactured by Ford Motor Company.

All tests were conducted in accordance with the U. S. Department of Transportation,

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Laboratory Test Procedure TP-226-00

dated March 1, 2011 and the corresponding MGA Research Corporation's FMVSS 226

procedure numbers dated July 5, 2013:

MGATP_226_EM_GOV_SETUP/TARGETING MGATP_226_EM_GOV_IMPACT

TEST SERIES

All tests were conducted at MGA Research Corporation in Troy, Michigan and were

performed by MGA engineers and technicians. The FMVSS 226 Ejection Mitigation

Impactor was used to conduct the testing.


2.0 TEST PROCEDURE AND DISCUSSION OF TEST

A 2013 Ford Explorer was tested on August 30-September 24, 2013 by MGA Research Corporation, Troy, Michigan. The window targets tested as part of the compliance test are as follows:

1st Row Driver Front Lower Primary 1st Row Passenger Front Lower Primary 1st Row Passenger Bisect 1st Row Driver Bisect 2nd Row Driver Bisect 2nd Row Passenger Bisect 2nd Row Passenger Front Upper Primary 2nd Row Driver Front Upper Primary 3rd Row Driver Rear Lower Primary

Pre-test and post-test photographs of the test vehicle, a 2013 Ford Explorer, are included in this report.

DATA SHEET NO. 4 VEHICLE TEST WEIGHT AND ATTITUDE






DB 1. After the test vehicle is received, add fluids to capacity and inflate tires to

the manufacturer’s specifications per tire placard. If no tire placard is available, inflate tires to the recommended pressure in the owner’s manual.

Tire Placard Pressure (kpa): RF 240 ; LF 240 ; RR 240 ; LR 240 Owner’s Manual Pressure (kpa) : RF 240 ; LF 240 ; RR 240 ; LR 240 Actual Inflated Pressure (kpa): RF 240; LF 240 ; RR 240 ; LR 240 DB 2. Place the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface. DB 3. Weigh the vehicle to determine the "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" (UVW). Right Front = 539 kg Right Rear = 449 kg Left Front = 572.5 kg Left Rear = 440 kg TOTAL FRONT = 1111.5 kg TOTAL REAR = 889.0 kg % Total Weight = 55.6% % Total Weight = 44.4% UVW = TOTAL FRONT PLUS TOTAL REAR = 2000.5 kg DB 4. Place the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface. Exercise the suspension, pushing up and down on all four corners of the vehicle at least 5 times in an interval not to exceed 40 seconds. DB 5. UVW Test Vehicle Attitude (all dimensions in degrees(°)): DB 5.1. Measure the pitch angle (front-to-rear) relative to a horizontal plane along a fixed reference on the driver’s and passenger’s door sill. Mark where the angle is measured on the door sill. Record on Table 4.1. DB 5.2. Measure the roll angle (left-to-right) relative to a horizontal plane along a fixed reference at the vehicle longitudinal centerline on the front and rear


of the vehicle (such as the front and rear bumper or instrument panel and rear deck). Mark where each angle is measured. Record on Table 4.1. DB 6. Support the vehicle off of its suspension, so that it maintains the UVW test attitude angles ±0.5°. Record on Table 4.1. If the vehicle is lowered off of the support fixture to reposition the vehicle during testing, the “as tested” attitude must again be measured and recorded.

The support for the vehicle must be capable of supporting the vehicle weight, loads applied and preventing movement of the vehicle. In addition, it must safely allow for the locating, testing and filming of the impacts per the requirements of the standard and this test procedure.
