expands driver’s awareness behind vehicles when reversing. Therefore, some
requirements of this Regulation may be satisfied by devices complying with
UN Regulation No.46.

or detection is measured, the minimum and maximum body widths, heights
and lengths shall be stated by the manufacturer and, if necessary, simulated by
dummy headboards. All vehicles and devices for means of rear visibility or
detection configurations taken into consideration during the tests shall be
shown on the type-approval certificate for a vehicle with regard to the
installation of devices for means of rear visibility or detection (see Annex 4).
This includes information related to a range of device installation positions (in

The view can be manually switched off when the vehicle is not moving
rearward.
The system may be switched off when the vehicle detects a coupling by means
of a coupling device."

"17.2.2. Audible information
When an object is detected in the rear horizontal area as described in paragraph
1.3. of Annex 10. while the reverse gear is selected/engaged, audible
information in accordance with ISO 15006:2011 shall be given.
In presenting audible information, the distance to the target may be identified
by two or more acoustic signals. These acoustic signals, differentiating
distances and detection widths, may be indicated by changing the frequency of
the intermittent sound. A faster intermittent sound or continuous sound shall
be used as the distance becomes closer."
Paragraph 17.2.3., amend to read:
"17.2.3. Duration of signalling
Signalling for an object shall last as long as the object is detected and shall end
when the object is no longer detected or when the system is deactivated.
To reduce the driver's discomfort, the audible signal can be automatically
suspended temporarily after a certain time set by the manufacturer has elapsed,

7
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.3/Add.157/Amend.1

provided that the system remains activated. If, while the audible signal is
automatically suspended temporarily, the distance to the object becomes
shorter, the audible signal shall be automatically resumed. If the distance to the
object becomes longer, the audible signal may remain suspended."
Insert a new paragraph 17.4., to read:
"17.4 The effectiveness of the detection system shall not be adversely affected by
magnetic or electrical fields. This shall be demonstrated by compliance with
