                     It shall not be possible for the transmission or brakes to be blocked inadvertently when the key is in the lock of the device to prevent unauthorized use, even if the device preventing starting of the engine has come into action or been set to act. This does not apply wherever the requirements of paragraph 5.2.2. of this Regulation are met by devices used for another purpose in addition and the lock under the conditions above is necessary for this additional function (e.g. electrical parking brake).
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.2.5.
                  
                  
                     The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be so designed and constructed that it remains fully effective even after some degree of wear as a result of 2 500 locking cycles in each direction. In the case of a protective device acting on brakes, each mechanical or electrical sub-part of the device is concerned.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.2.6.
                  
                  
                     If the device to prevent unauthorized use is such that the key can be removed in a position other than the position in which the transmission or brakes are locked, it shall be so designed that the manoeuvre required to reach that position and remove the key cannot be effected inadvertently.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.2.7.
                  
                  
                     In the case when the protective device acting on the transmission is used, it shall be strong enough to withstand, without damage likely to compromise safety, the application in both directions and in static conditions of a torque 50 per cent greater than the maximum torque that can normally be applied to the transmission. In determining the level of this testing torque account shall be taken not of the maximum engine torque, but of the maximum torque that can be transmitted by the clutch or by the automatic transmission.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.2.8.
                  
                  
                     In the case of a vehicle equipped with a protective device acting on brakes, the device shall be capable of holding the laden vehicle stationary on a 20 per cent up- or down-gradient.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.2.9.
                  
                  
                     In the case of a vehicle equipped with a protective device acting on brakes, the requirements of this Regulation shall not be construed as a departure from the requirements of UN Regulation No 13 or 13-H even in the case of a failure.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.3.

                     5.2.3.1.
                  
                  
                     A device to prevent unauthorized use acting on the gearshift control shall be capable of preventing any change of gear.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.3.2.
                  
                  
                     In the case of manual gearboxes, it shall be possible to lock the gearshift lever in reverse only; in addition locking in neutral shall be permitted.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.3.3.
                  
                  
                     In the case of automatic gearboxes provided with a ‘parking’ position it shall be possible to lock the mechanism in the parking position only; in addition, locking in neutral and/or reverse shall be permitted.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.3.4.
                  
                  
                     In the case of automatic gearboxes not provided with a ‘parking’ position it shall be possible to lock the mechanism in the following positions only: neutral and/or reverse.
                  
               
                  
                     5.2.3.5.
                  
                  
                     The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be so designed and constructed that it remains fully effective even after some degree of wear as a result of 2 500 locking cycles in each direction.
                  
               5.3.   Electromechanical and electronic devices to prevent unauthorized use shall be submitted to the tests described in Annex 6.
