Push each arm rearward permitting bending at the elbow, until the palm of each hand contacts the outer part of the rim of the steering wheel at its horizontal centreline.  Place the 'Test Dummy's' thumbs over the steering wheel rim and position the upper and lower arm centrelines as close as possible in a vertical plane without inducing torso movement.  The thumbs must be over the steering wheel rim and are lightly taped to the steering wheel rim so that if the hand of the 'Test Dummy' is pushed upward by a force of not less than 9 N and not more than 22 N, the tape must release the hand from the steering wheel rim.

Push each arm rearward, permitting bending at the elbow, until the upper arm contracts the 'Seat' back and is tangent to the upper part of the side of the torso, the palm contacts the outside of the thigh, and the little finger is barely in contact with the 'Seat' cushion.
