tangential to the bottom of the '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' which includes a line at ground level transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 11 m forward of the rearmost '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' point, and 2 diverging vertical planes tangential to and inclined 18o to the outboard and 56o to the inboard '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' and a plane tangential to the top of the '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' inclined upwards at 10o to the horizontal.

   In the case of other vehicles, it is the area of the windscreen bounded by a plane tangential to the bottom of the '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' which includes a line at ground level transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 11 m forward of the rearmost '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' point, and 2 diverging vertical planes tangential to and inclined 18o to the outboard and 56o to the inboard '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses', and a plane tangential to the top of the '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' inclined upwards at 5o or arctan (3-H)/11 (where H is the height in metres of the top of the '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' above ground level) whichever is the greater (ADR 15).

   CRITICAL AREA B - that part of 'Critical Area A' within diverging vertical planes inclined 15o left and right and tangential to the inboard and outboard '95th Percentile Eye Ellipses' (ADR 15).

   CROSS PLY TYRE - see 'Diagonal Ply Tyre'.

   D - VALUE - the theoretical horizontal reference force between towing vehicle and trailer.

   CROSS-VIEW MIRROR - an external mirror which can be adjusted to enable a driver with eyes located at two ocular points 65 mm apart and 635 mm vertically above the 'Seating Reference Point', to see all points on a transverse horizontal line that:

         1.                 is 1,000 mm above a flat horizontal portion of road;
         2.                is 300 mm forward of the 'Front End' of the vehicle; and
         3.                 extends at least between a vertical longitudinal plane passing through the outermost point from which the 'Overall Width' is measured on the right side (i.e. driver's side) and a vertical longitudinal plane 900 mm beyond the point from which the 'Overall Width' is measured on the left side (i.e. near side / side opposite the driver's side).

   The centre of the segment joining the two ocular points is in a vertical longitudinal plane passing through the centre of the driver's seating position, as specified by the 'Manufacturer'.

   DATE OF MANUFACTURE - for a road vehicle entered onto the Register of Approved Vehicles under the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018, the date of that entry. Otherwise, the date the vehicle is available in Australia in a condition that will enable an
