until there is 'Test Dummy' head contact with the vehicle's headlining.

10.4.2.                          Lower torso force application.

         Apply a rearward force of 223 N against the centre of the 'Test Dummy's' lower torso in a horizontal direction.  The line of force application shall be 165 mm above the bottom surface of the 'Test Dummy's' buttocks.

10.4.3.                          'Test Dummy' vertical downward displacement.  Remove as much of the 223 N force as necessary to allow the 'Test Dummy' to return downward to the 'Seat' cushion by its own weight.

10.4.4.                          'Test Dummy' upper torso rocking.

         Apply a 44.5 N to 66.8 N horizontal rearward force to the 'Test Dummy' lower torso.  Then apply a horizontal forward force to the 'Test Dummy's' shoulders sufficient to flex the upper torso forward until its back no longer contacts the 'Seat' back.  Rock the 'Test Dummy' from side to side 3 or 4 times so that the 'Test Dummy's' spine is at any angle from the vertical in the 14 to 16 degree range at the extremes of each rocking movement.

10.4.5.                          'Test Dummy' upper torso force application.  While maintaining the 44.5 N to 66.8 N horizontal rearward force applied in clause 10.4.4 and with the 'Test Dummy's' midsagittal plane vertical, push the upper torso back against the 'Seat' back with a force of 223 N applied in a horizontal rearward direction along a line that is coincident with the 'Test Dummy's' midsagittal plane and 457 mm above the bottom surface of the 'Test Dummy's' buttocks.

10.5.                                Seatbelt Adjustment for Dynamic Testing

         With the 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummies' at their designated seating positions as specified by the appropriate requirements of clauses 10.1 through 10.4, place and adjust the seat belts as specified below.

10.5.1.                          Place the seatbelt around the 'Test Dummy' and fasten the latch.  The seatbelt must be 'Correctly Fitted' to each 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy'.  Pull the upper torso webbing out of the retractor and allow it to retract; repeat this operation four times so that the excess webbing in the shoulder belt is removed by the retractive force of the retractor.  Apply a 9 to 18 N tension load to the lap belt by pulling the upper torso belt adjacent to the latchplate.  Measure the tension load as close as possible to the same location where the force was applied.  After the tension load has been applied, ensure that the upper torso belt lies flat on the 'Test Dummy's' shoulder.  Allow the excess webbing in the shoulder belt to be retracted by the retractive force of the retractor.

10.6.                                Placement of 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy' Arms and Hands

         With the 'Test Dummy' positioned as specified by clause10.4 and without inducing torso movement, place the
