foot cannot be placed on the accelerator pedal, set it initially perpendicular to the lower leg and place it as far forward as possible in the direction of the pedal centreline with the rearmost point of the heel resting on the floor pan.  Except as prevented by contact with a vehicle surface, place the right leg so that the upper and lower leg centrelines fall, as close as possible, in a vertical plane without inducing torso movement.

10.1.1.3.                    Place the left foot on the toeboard with the rearmost point of the heel resting on the floor pan as close as possible to the point of intersection of the planes described by the toeboard and the floor pan and not on the wheelwell projection.  If the foot cannot be positioned on the toeboard, set it initially perpendicular to the lower leg and place it as far forward as possible with the heel resting on the floor pan.  If necessary to avoid contact with the vehicle's brake or clutch pedal, rotate the 'Test Dummy's' left foot about the lower leg.  If there is still pedal interference, rotate the left leg inboard about the hip the minimum distance necessary to avoid the pedal interference.  Except as prevented by contact with a vehicle surface, place the left leg so that the upper and lower leg centrelines fall, as close as possible, in a vertical plane.  For vehicles with a foot rest that does not elevate the left foot above the level of the right foot, place the left foot on the foot rest so that the upper and lower leg centrelines fall in a vertical plane.

10.1.2.                          Passenger position placement.

10.1.2.1.                    Vehicles with a flat floor pan/toeboard.  Initially set the knees to be nominally 299 mm apart, measured between the outer surfaces of the knee pivot bolt heads.  Place the right and left feet on the vehicle's toeboard with the heels resting on the floor pan as close as possible to the intersection point with the toeboard.  If the feet cannot be placed flat on the toeboard, set them perpendicular to the lower leg centrelines and place them as far forward as possible with the heels resting on the floor pan.  Place the right and left legs so that the upper and lower leg centrelines fall in vertical longitudinal planes.

10.1.2.2.                    Vehicles with wheelhouse projections in passenger compartment.

         Initially set the knees to be nominally 299 mm, measured between the outer surfaces of the knee pivot bolt heads.  Place the right and left feet in the well of the floor pan/toeboard and not on the wheelhouse projection.  If the feet cannot be placed flat on the toeboard, initially set them perpendicular to the lower
