passing-beam shall not operate unless the vehicle's speed exceeds 60 km/h and one or more of the following conditions is/are automatically detected:
              (a) The road characteristics correspond to motorway conditions[18] or the vehicle's speed exceeds 110 km/h (E-signal applies);
              (b) In case of a class E mode of the passing-beam which, according to the system's approval documents /communication sheet, complies with a "data set" of Regulation No. 123, Annex 3, Table 6, only.
Data set E1: the vehicle's speed exceeds 100 km/h (E1-signal applies);
Data set E2: the vehicle's speed exceeds 90 km/h (E2-signal applies);
Data set E3: the vehicle's speed exceeds 80 km/h (E3-signal applies).
6.22.7.4.4.              The class W-mode(s) of the passing-beam shall not operate unless the front fog lamps, if any, are switched OFF and one or more of the following conditions is/are automatically detected (W-signal applies):
(a) The wetness of the road has been detected automatically;
              (b) The windshield wiper is switched ON and its continuous or automatically controlled operation has occurred for a period of at least two minutes.
6.22.7.4.5.              A mode of a class C, V, E, or W passing-beam shall not be modified to become a bending mode of said class (T-signal applies in combination with the signal of said passing-beam class according to paragraphs 6.22.7.4.1. through 6.22.7.4.4. above) unless at least one of the following characteristics (or equivalent indications) are evaluated:
(a) The angle of lock of the steering;
(b) The trajectory of the centre of gravity of the vehicle.
In addition, the following provisions apply:
             (i) A horizontal movement of the asymmetric cut-off side-wards from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, if any, is allowed only when the vehicle is in forward motion[19] and shall be such that the longitudinal vertical plane through the kink of the elbow of the cut-off does not intersect the line of the trajectory of the centre of gravity of the vehicle at distances from the front of the vehicle which are larger than 100 times the mounting height of the respective lighting unit;
             (ii) One or more lighting units may be additionally energized only when the horizontal radius of curvature of the trajectory of the centre of gravity of the vehicle is 500 m or less.
6.22.7.5.                    It shall always be possible for the driver to set the AFS to the neutral state and to return it to its automatic operation.
6.22.8.                          Tell-tale:
6.22.8.1.                    The provisions of paragraphs 6.1.8. (for the main-beam headlamp) and 6.2.8. (for the dipped-beam headlamp) of this Regulation apply to the respective parts of an AFS.
6.22.8.2.                    A visual failure tell-tale for AFS is mandatory. It shall be non-flashing. It shall be activated whenever a failure is detected with respect to the
