to the lower leg with the heel resting on the floorpan in the same lateral line as the right heel.  Set the knees of the dummy such that their outside surfaces are 150  10 mm from the plane of symmetry of the dummy.  If possible within these constraints place the thighs of the dummy in contact with the seat cushion.
    2.9. For other seating positions, without inducing pelvis or torso movement, place the heels of the dummy as far forward as possible on the floorpan without compressing the seat cushion more than the compression due to the weight of the leg.  Set the knees of the dummy such that their outside surfaces are 150  10 mm from the plane of symmetry of the dummy.
