If, however, the driver-controlled switch is present, it shall not be able to override the auto-reversing device or prevent lowering of the partition system. The driver-controlled switch shall be located so as to minimize any accidental manipulating. It shall be identified by the symbol shown in Figure 2 of annex 9 to this Regulation or an equivalent symbol, for example according to ISO 2575:1998 reproduced in figure 3 of annex 9 to this Regulation.

    5.8.5        Protection devices

    All protection devices which are used to prevent damage to the power source in the case of an overload or stalling shall reset themselves after the overload or the automatic switch off. After resetting of the protection devices, the motion in the closing direction shall not resume without a deliberate action on the control device.

    5.8.6        Handbook instructions

       5.8.6.1                The owner's manual of the vehicle shall contain clear instructions relating to the poweroperated window/roof panel/partition, including:

       5.8.6.1.2          use of the driver-controlled switch,

       5.8.6.1.3          a "WARNING" message indicating the dangers, particularly to children in the case of improper use/activation of the power-operated windows/roof-panel systems/partition systems. This information should indicate the responsibilities of the driver, including instructions for other occupants and the recommendation to leave the vehicle only if the ignition key/power key has been removed, or an equivalent condition has happened in case of a non mechanical device,

       5.8.6.1.4          a "WARNING" message indicating that special care should be taken when using remote closing systems (see paragraph 5.8.2.8), for example to actuate it only when the operator has a clear view of the vehicle to be sure that nobody can be trapped by power-operated windows/roof-panel/partition equipment.

    5.8.7        If a power-operated window, roof-opening and/ or partition system is installed in a vehicle that can not be tested according to the test procedures mentioned above the approval may be granted if the manufacturer can demonstrate an equal or improved protection-effect for the occupants.

    5.9.1        The requirements of paragraph 5. shall apply to such fittings not mentioned in previous paragraphs which, within the meaning of the various requirements in paragraphs 5.1. to 5.7. and according to their location in the vehicle, are capable of being contacted by the occupants. If such parts are made of a material of less than 50 shore A hardness, mounted on a rigid support, the requirements in question shall apply only to the rigid support, or it can be demonstrated by sufficient tests according to the procedure described in annex 4 that the soft material
