• Abstract:
  The purpose of the tests conducted was two fold: (1) To determine if the proposed compliance procedure would provide repeatable results. (2) To see if the requirements can be met without violating the anchorage location requirements specified in FMVSS 210. Results: Repeatability in the positioning of the upper torso of the dummy was poorer for the van and pick-up than for passenger cars; Position of the belt in the belt fit zone is not highly sensitive to variations in dummy position; For standard belt systems tested, modifications made to the seat belt assemblies would still meet the requirements of FMVSS 210. /Abstract from report summary page/
