About the Test
The test was a two roll event. The planned difference between the rolls was the pitch of the vehicle; 5 degrees in Roll 1 and 10 degrees in Roll 2 and the position of the Hybrid III dummy. For Roll 1, the dummy was located “out of position;" leaning towards the passenger side approximately 45° in order to simulate approximately 1g of lateral acceleration. For Roll 2, the dummy was left in the resting position from the previous roll. The rear window (backlight) was broken upon arrival so the glass was replaced by a local glass vendor. The length of the vehicle bed extended beyond the width of the JRS towers, approximately 21 inches of the rear bed was removed.
