based on information provided by the manufacturer and in agreement with the technical service.

         4.2. Condition A

         4.2.1. If the electric range of the vehicle, as measured in accordance with Annex 9 to this Regulation, is higher than 1 complete cycle, on the request of the manufacturer, the type I test for electric energy measurement may be carried out in pure electric mode, after agreement of the technical service. In this case, the values of M1 and C1 in paragraph 4.4. are equal to 0.

         4.2.2. The procedure shall start with the discharge of the electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle as described in paragraph 4.2.2.1. below.

         4.2.2.1. The electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle is discharged while driving with the switch in pure electric position (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent of the maximum speed of the vehicle in pure electric mode, which is to be determined according to the test procedure for electric vehicles defined in Regulation No. 68.

          Stopping the discharge occurs:

            (a) When the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed; or

            (b) When an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation; or

            (c) After covering a distance of 100 km.

          If the vehicle is not equipped with a pure electric mode, the electrical energy/power storage device discharge shall be achieved by driving the vehicle (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

            (a) At a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up;

            (b) Or if a vehicle cannot reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine , the speed shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine just does not start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer);

            (c) Or with manufacturers' recommendation.

          The fuel-consuming engine shall be stopped within ten seconds of it being automatically started.

         4.2.3. Conditioning of the vehicle:

         4.2.3.1. For conditioning compression-ignition engined vehicles the Part Two cycle of the applicable driving cycle shall be used in combination with the applicable gear shifting prescriptions as defined in paragraph 1.4. of this annex. Three consecutive cycles shall be driven.

         4.2.3.2. Vehicles fitted with positive-ignition engines shall be preconditioned with one Part One and two Part Two cycles of the applicable driving cycle in combination with the applicable gear shifting prescriptions as defined in paragraph 1.4. of this annex.

         4.2.3.3. After this preconditioning, and before testing, the vehicle shall
