If the feet cannot be placed flat on the toeboard, initially set them perpendicular to the lower leg centrelines and then place them as far forward as possible with the heels resting on the floor pan.  If it is not possible to maintain vertical and longitudinal planes through the upper and lower leg centrelines for each leg, then place the left leg so that its upper and lower centrelines fall as closely as possible in a vertical longitudinal plane and place the right leg so that its upper and lower leg centrelines fall, as closely as possible, in a vertical plane.

         Place the 'Test Dummy' at the left front outboard designated seating position so that the midsagittal plane of the 'Test Dummy' is vertical and longitudinal, and the same distance from the vehicle's longitudinal centreline as the midsagittal plane of the 'Test Dummy' at the driver's position or the design 'Seating Position' at the manufacturer's option.  Place the legs, knees, and feet of the 'Test Dummy' as specified in clause 10.1.2.
