Euro NCAP first tested a 406 in 1997. Back then, the car gained two stars for its front- and side-impact protection.The 2001 model gains an extra star, mainly for its improved restraint systems, but also for its stronger structure. A key-operated switch turns off the frontal passenger airbag to allow a rear-facing child restraint to be installed Also, the airbag can be turned off while the engine is running, by using a second key. However the warning on the instrument panel is always correct, thus providing a safety check.
