6 Safety Compliance Testing For FMVSS 225 Page 5 of PURPOSE AND PROCEDURE PURPOSE The child restraint anchorage testing results presented in this report are part of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 225 compliance test program conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by MGA Research Corporation (MGA) under Contract No. DTNH22-02-D The purpose of the testing was to determine if the subject vehicle, a 2010 Nissan Rogue, NHTSA No. CA5202 meets the performance requirements of FMVSS No. 225, Child Restraint Anchorage Systems. PROCEDURE This testing was conducted in accordance with NHTSA s Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) Laboratory Test Procedure TP (4/11/05) and MGA s Laboratory Test Procedure, MGATP225GOV (6/23/06). The rear occupant compartment consisted of a 2 nd row three-passenger 60/40 split-back-bench seat. The 2 nd row outboard left and right seating positions were equipped with a child restraint anchorage system (one tether and two lower anchorages) and the center seating position was equipped with a tether anchorage. The center-to-center spacing between the 2 nd row outboard lower anchorages was approximately 700 mm. The 2 nd row left and right outboard seating positions were tested with the SFADII. 2.0 COMPLIANCE TEST AND DATA SUMMARY TEST SUMMARY The testing was conducted at MGA in Troy, Michigan on May 6 - June 2, Based on the test results, the 2010 Nissan Rogue appears to meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 225 for this testing. The SFADII at the 2 nd row left seating position sustained a maximum force of 5,043 N and held the required load for 3 seconds and the total displacement was 69 mm. The SFADII at the 2 nd row right seating position sustained a maximum force of 5,037 N and held the required load for 3 seconds and the total displacement was 81 mm.
