Crushable Zone - Mazda 6 Training Manual

CRUSHABLE ZONE

• To reduce cabin damage, the front and rear of the frame are designed to deform when incurring an impact, and
effectively absorb/disperse energy from a collision.
— In moderate collisions at the front bumper reinforcement, impact is diffused to the front side frames and
front suspension members.
— If the collision comes close to the cabin, impact is diffused to the side sills and front B frames through the
torque bo, reducing impact to the cabin.
