| --- | --- |

(b)

Of attempted vehicle theft, e.g. inclination sensor

are allowed, taking account of measures to prevent any unnecessary sounding of the alarm (= false alarm, see paragraph 6.1.2 below).

Insofar as these additional sensors generate an alarm signal even after an intrusion has occurred (e.g. by breakage of a glazed area) or under external influences (e.g. wind), the alarm signal, activated by one of the above-mentioned sensors, shall be activated not more than 10 times within the same activation period of the VAS.

In this case the activation period shall be limited by the authorized unsetting of the system as a result of the vehicle user's action.

Some kinds of additional sensors, e.g. passenger compartment control (ultrasonic, infrared) or inclination sensor, etc., may be intentionally deactivated. In this case, separate deliberate action shall be taken each time before the VAS is set. It shall not be possible to deactivate the sensors while the alarm system is in a set state.

11.   Particular specifications

11.1.   Protection range

11.1.1.   Specific requirements

The AS shall at least detect and signal the opening of any vehicle door, engine bonnet and luggage compartment. The failure or switching off of light sources, e.g. passenger compartment light, shall not impair the control operation.

The installation of additional efficient sensors for information/display, e.g.:

| (a) | Of intrusion into the vehicle, e.g. passenger compartment control, window glass control breakage of any glazed area; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

Of intrusion into the vehicle, e.g. passenger compartment control, window glass control breakage of any glazed area; or

| (b) | Of attempted vehicle theft, e.g. inclination sensor; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

Of attempted vehicle theft, e.g. inclination sensor;

are allowed, taking account of measures to prevent any unnecessary sounding of the alarm (= false alarm, see paragraph 11.1.2 below).

Insofar as these additional sensors generate an alarm signal even after an intrusion has occurred (e.g. by breakage of a glazed area) or under external influences (e.g. wind), the alarm signal, activated by one of the above-mentioned sensors, shall be activated not more than 10 times within the same activation period of the AS.

In this case the activation period shall be limited by the authorized unsetting of the system as a result of the vehicle user's action.

Some kinds of additional sensors, e.g. passenger compartment control (ultrasonic, infrared) or inclination sensor, etc., may be intentionally deactivated. In this case, separate deliberate action shall be taken each time before the AS is set. It shall not be possible to deactivate the sensors while the alarm system is in a set state.

11.1.2.   Safety against false alarm

| 11.1.2.1. | It shall be ensured that the AS both in set and unset conditions, cannot cause the alarm signal to sound unnecessarily, in the event of:






  (a) | An impact on the vehicle: test specified in paragraph 7.2.13; |
| --- | --- | --- |

11.1.2.1.

| (b) | Electromagnetic compatibility: tests specified in paragraph 7.2.12; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

Electromagnetic compatibility: tests specified in paragraph 7.2.12;

| (c) | Reduction of battery voltage by continuous discharge: test specified in paragraph 7.2.14; |

(d)

False alarm of the passenger compartment control: test specified in paragraph 7.2.15.

| 11.1.2.2. | If the applicant for approval can demonstrate, e.g. by technical data, that safety against false alarm is satisfactorily ensured, the technical service responsible for conducting approval tests may not require some of the above tests. |
| --- | --- |

11.1.2.2.

If the applicant for approval can demonstrate, e.g. by technical data, that safety against false alarm is satisfactorily ensured, the technical service responsible for conducting approval tests may not require some of the above tests.

ANNEX 7

Electromagnetic compatibility

1.

Tests shall be performed according to the technical prescriptions and transitional provisions of UN Regulation No 10, 06 series of amendments and according to the test methods described in Annex 10 for an Electrical/Electronic Sub-Assembly (ESA).

The VAS/AS shall be tested in unset state and in set state.

2.

Testing of the immunity of a VAS/AS in a vehicle may be performed according to the technical prescriptions and transitional provisions of UN Regulation No 10, 06 series of amendments and test methods described in Annex 6 for the vehicles or Annex 9 for an Electrical/Electronic Sub-Assembly (ESA).

The VAS/AS shall be tested with operating conditions and failure criteria as defined in Table 1
