7.                                          SET UP REQUIREMENTS FOR HYBRID III TEST DUMMY

7.1.                                    Each 'Hybrid III' 'Test Dummy' must be set up according to the following:

7.2.                                    The 'Test Dummy' must be clothed in formfitting cotton stretch garments with short sleeves and midcalf length pants (specified in drawings 78051-292 and -293 or their equivalent).

7.3.                                    A size 11EE shoe specified in drawings 78051-294 (left) and 78051-295 (right) or their equivalents must be placed on each foot.

7.4.                                    Limb joints must be set at l times the acceleration due to gravity, barely restraining the mass of the limb when extended horizontally.

7.5.                                    Leg joints must be adjusted with the torso in the supine position.

7.6.                                    Instrumentation must not affect the motion of dummies during impact.

7.7.                                    The stabilised temperature of the 'Hybrid III'  'Test Dummy' specified must be at any level between 20.5 degrees C and 22.2 degrees C.

8.                                          POSITIONING PROCEDURES FOR HYBRID III TEST DUMMY

         8.0. A 'Hybrid III' 'Test Dummy' must be positioned in each front outboard seating position of a vehicle as specified in the following clauses:

8.1.                                    Head

         The transverse instrumentation platform of the head must be horizontal within 0.5 degrees.  To level the head of the 'Test Dummy', the following sequences must be followed.  First, adjust the position of the 'H point' within the limits set forth in clause 8.5.1 to level the transverse instrumentation platform of the head.  If still not level, then adjust the pelvic angle of the 'Test Dummy' within the limits specified in clause 8.5.2 of this rule.  If the transverse instrumentation platform of the head is still not level, then adjust the neck bracket of the 'Test Dummy' the minimum amount necessary from the non-adjusted zero setting to ensure that the transverse instrumentation platform of the head is horizontal within 0.5 degrees.  The 'Test Dummy' must remain within the limits specified in clause 8.5.1 and clause 8.5.2 after any adjustment of the neck bracket.

8.2.                                    Arms

         The arms of the 'Hybrid III' 'Test Dummies' must be positioned as follows:

8.2.1.                              The driver's upper arms must be adjacent to the torso with the centrelines as close to a vertical longitudinal plane as possible.

8.2.2.                              The passenger's upper arms must
