• The horizontal center of gravity for theSUB is:
– At or forward of the rear axle centerline. The
vertical center of gravity for the completed vehicle
atUnloadedVehicleWeight+397 lbpassenger load
CGv (Equation A) must not exceed 36.0 inches,
whenmeasured from the ground.
– Behind the rear axle centerline.The vertical center
of gravity for the completed vehicle at Unloaded
Vehicle Weight + 400 lb passenger load must
fall within the appropriate range determined from
Table E, page 16.The value of CGh (Equation B),
whichapproximates thehorizontal center of gravity
of the completed vehicle, is used in Table E, to
determine thevertical center of gravity limits for the
completed vehicle. The value CGv (Equation A),
which approximates the vertical center of gravity
of the completed vehicle, must fall within the
appropriate range determined fromTableE.
If any of the above mentioned components (including
front seats) are added to the incomplete vehicle by a
subsequent stage manufacturer, these components
must conform to the requirements of Standard 201
where applicable. When front seats are installed on an
Incomplete E-SeriesVan or Cutaway the installed seat
must be located within the dimensional specifications
for the SeatingReference Point and the torso angle as
specified inFigureC page32.
Because conformity of a completed vehicle to the seat
back requirements of this standard is dependent upon
the location of a seat installed by a subsequent stage
manufacturer to the rear of another seat, Ford Motor
Company makes no representation as to compliance
of a completed vehicle to the seat back requirements if
such a seat is installed.
