A motor vehicle safety arrangement

A motor vehicle safety arrangement is disclosed which is operable in the event of an impact between the vehicle (1) and an external object (2). The arrangement comprises an impact guide (5) mounted to the structure of the vehicle in a front region of the vehicle. The impact guide (5) is configured for actuation from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to an actuation signal from a crash sensor. The impact guide (5) is mounted to or formed integrally with a frontal transverse beam (6) forming part of the structure of the vehicle (1), the beam (6) being located within or behind the front bumper or fender (3) of the vehicle. The impact guide (5), when in its actuated second configuration, presents a guide surface (21,22) for impact with the external object (2), the guide surface (21,22) facing outwards and extending rearwards at an acute angle relative to the central longitudinal axis (15) of the vehicle.
