We believe that it is appropriate to focus on the identification requirements in two situations: (1) the top layer of a multifunction control with layers and (2) the identification of the active functions of the controls listed in Tables 1 and 2, i.e. the functions directly affected by the operation of the control system in order to change the state of the vehicle or subsystem. The Regulation shall also take into account viewing angles and shall be relevant for pre-war Austin Sevens and similar carriages, in accordance with the regulatory instrument: paragraph 1 (d) For a motor vehicle first used on or after 1 January 1936 and before 1 April 1986: any arrangement of turn signals to meet the visibility requirements set out in paragraph 3. Then in paragraph 3 Viewing angle in point (b) A motor vehicle first constructed before 1. April 1986: so that at least one turn signal (but not necessarily the same) is clearly visible on each side, both front and rear of each vehicle. All cars must be equipped with fog lights, as this is required by law. If your car has been imported, it will need a rear fog light before it can be used on the road. Fog lights are not a legal requirement, but if your car is equipped with them, you should only use them if visibility is severely limited. (b) Except as provided for in point 5.3.1 (c), the turn signals and their identifiers for which the word “yes” is indicated in column 5 of Table 1 shall be illuminated each time the propulsion system and headlamps of the vehicle are activated.

In NPRM, we suggested two tables, each containing both controls and displays. In Table 1, we suggested specifying icons, color requirements, and whether lighting is required for controls, indicator lights, and displays for which we proposed lighting or color requirements. We noted that the proposed requirement reflects the requirements already included in FMVSS No. 101, Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101, ECE 78/316 or are included in the draft RWG “Manual Controls, Turn Signals and Indicators”. In this document, we are updating our standard for regulating vehicle controls, turn signals and turn signals. The standard specifies requirements for the location, identification and lighting of these elements. This rule extends the standard`s requirements for traitors and indicators to vehicles with a total laden weight (GVWR) of 4,536 kg (10,000 pounds) and above, updates the standard`s requirements for multifunction controls and multitasking displays to make requirements appropriate for advanced systems, and reorganizes the standard to make it easier to read. The standard requires, among other things, that certain controls, indicator lights and indicators be identified by certain symbols or words. Although we have proposed to expand the list of items for which a specified identification is required, we have decided to include for the purposes of this rule only those elements and identification previously specified in this or another of our standards.

As NHTSA has already mentioned in subsection F. On the Start Printed Page 48303 multifunction controls, he did not propose in npRM to prohibit the combination of specific controls. NhTSA does not assume any requirements in this area. However, we have decided to adopt the format of the tables proposed in NPRM to make it easier to find identifiers in the tables. Therefore, for controls, indicator lights and indicators, this final rule in Table 1 specifies identifiers, colour requirements and whether lighting is required for a control, indicator light or display, as well as lighting or colour requirements. Table 2 contains identifiers for controls, indicator lights and indicators other than those listed in Table 1. Table 2 does not specify any colour or lighting requirements. The final rule of Article 5.2.3 reads as follows: “Additional symbols, words or abbreviations may, at the discretion of the manufacturer, be used for clarity in conjunction with a symbol, word or abbreviation specified in Table 1 or Table 2.” The position of the indicators is set out in paragraph 2(b). For a vehicle first used before 1 April 1986, there is no maximum lateral distance from the side of the vehicle, but the 400 mm required for newer cars is a reasonable distance. There is no maximum height above the ground, but the minimum height is 350 mm. The power shall be between 15 and 36 watts without the need for luminous intensity (para. (8)).

A rear direction indicator lamp on either side of the vehicle shall not be mounted on a trunk lid or other moving part of the vehicle. We have also proposed Table 2, which shows icons for controls, indicator lights and indicators that are not included in the proposed Table 1. Table 2 does not contain any colour or lighting requirements. The symbols in each of the proposed tables were essentially identical to the ISO symbols, with a few exceptions. No English words or abbreviations appeared in the proposed tables, except that we proposed that traitors to brake malfunction include the word “brake” for five years for light vehicles and eight years for heavy vehicles. Paragraph 1 (e) For a motor vehicle used for the first time before 1 April 1936: any arrangement of turn signals to clearly indicate the intention of the driver to other road users. We further note that the definition of “commands” as hand-operated makes it unnecessary to repeat “manual control” when the word “command” is used in FMVSS No. 101. We have not received any comments from the public about current vehicles equipped with high beams, a windshield washer system or a windshield wiper that are used on foot. We still do not see the need to include a requirement for service brakes, accelerator pedals and clutches to be operated by the driver for practical reasons. Therefore, in this final rule, NHTSA adopts the definition of “control” proposed in the NPRM.

“The first flashing lights were installed in 1939 by the American company Buick, I believe.” It took a few decades for them to establish themselves in motor vehicles. In the United Kingdom, in 1965, all new cars were regulated by law. NhTSA notes that the wording proposed by the TMA does not indicate that indicators or indicator lights must not be of a colour that masks the driver`s ability to detect an indicator light, control or display listed in Table 1 (emphasis added). Since NHTSA believes in the importance of regulating the driver`s ability to detect traitors, controls and indicators, it will ultimately adopt the language proposed in S5.4.2. S2. Goal. The objective of this standard is to ensure the accessibility, visibility and detection of controls, tell-tales and turn signals of motor vehicles and to facilitate the correct selection of controls day and night in order to reduce safety risks caused by distracting the driver`s attention from the driving task and by errors in the selection of controls. We believe that to the extent that manufacturers include additional features (not otherwise regulated by FMVSS No. 101) as part of the same multifunction order that contains the items listed in the standard, it would be confusing if these additional functions were not identified. This could make it more difficult for users to use the command for items specifically targeted by FMVSS No. 101.

However, according to the final rule, manufacturers can identify additional features as they wish, and the requirement only applies to the top layer of the associated multitasking screen. We do not believe that it will be incriminating, and we actually believe that without such a requirement, manufacturers would most likely provide such identification. S5.5.1 A common space may be used to display messages from any source, subject to the requirements of S5.5.2 to S5.5.6. On November 23, 2001, the Agency received a petition from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) to remove the contiguity requirement from the current FMVSS No. 101, S5.2.1 (a). The Agency confirmed the petition and addressed the issues raised in the Alliance`s petition to the NPRM of September 23, 2003. The Alliance considered that the current wording of section S5.2.1(a) When a hazard warning device is installed, it should only be operated by a switch, regardless of whether the ignition is on or off. The indicators must flash at the same time and the “indicator light” must work properly. The hazard “indicator light” may be the same as the “indicator light” or a separate indicator light, but it must be a flashing light. If an indicator or “indicator light” doesn`t work, that`s reason enough not to pass the MoT test. However, we note that since (for the reasons set out below) Tables 1 and 2 contain far fewer controls, tell-tales and indicators than those proposed in the NPRM (and none of the only ones for vehicles with a total permissible capacity of 4,536 kg or more), the cost of meeting the requirements of this final rule will be significantly reduced. To address cost concerns, given that vehicles with a total laden weight of 4,536 kg (10,000 pounds) or more have longer remodeling cycles than lighter passenger cars, we offer eight years to meet the light and indicator requirements for heavy vehicles.

One. In addition to the main flashlights at the front, all vehicles manufactured since 1986 must have at least one indicator light on each side – known as the side repeater.
