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 AFS control signals or when a failure signal is received in accordance with paragraph 5.9. of Regulation No. 123. It shall remain activated while the failure is present. It may be cancelled temporarily, but shall be repeated whenever the device which starts and stops the engine is switched on and off.
6.22.8.3.                    If the main-beam is adaptive, a visual tell-tale shall be provided to indicate to the driver that the adaptation of the main beam is activated. This information shall remain displayed as long as the adaptation is activated.
6.22.8.4.                    A tell-tale to indicate that the driver has set the system into a state according to paragraph 5.8. of Regulation No. 123 is optional.

6.22.9.1.                    An AFS shall be permitted only in conjunction with the installation of headlamp cleaning device(s) according to Regulation No. 45[20] for at least those lighting units, which are indicated under item 9.3. of the communication form conforming to the model in Annex 1 to Regulation No. 123, if the total objective luminous flux of the light sources of these units exceeds 2,000 lm per side, and which contribute to the class C (basic) passing-beam.
6.22.9.2.                    Verification of compliance with AFS automatic operating requirements
6.22.9.2.1.              The applicant shall demonstrate with a concise description or other means acceptable to the Type Approval Authority:
(a) The correspondence of the AFS control signals
              i) To the description required in paragraph 3.2.6. of this  Regulation; and

6.22.9.2.2.              To verify, whether, according to the paragraph 6.22.7.4., the AFS automatic operation of the passing-beam functions does not cause any discomfort, the technical service shall perform a test drive which comprises any situation relevant to the system control on the basis of the applicants description; it shall be notified whether all modes are activated, performing and de-activated according to the applicant's description; obvious malfunctioning, if any, shall be contested (e.g. excessive angular movement or flicker).
6.22.9.2.3.              The overall performance of the automatic control shall be demonstrated by the applicant by documentation or by other means accepted by the Type Approval Authority. Furthermore, the manufacturer shall provide a documentation package which gives access to the design of "the safety concept" of the system. This "safety concept" is a description of the measures designed into the system, for example within the electronic units,
