as a percentage of the nominal capacity of the battery (in Ah) in its maximum state of charge, as declared by the manufacturer. At the manufacturer's request additional test cycles may be run and their results included in the calculations in paragraphs 3.1.2.5.5. and 3.1.4.2. provided that the electricity balance for each additional test cycle shows less discharge of the battery than over the previous cycle.
               In between each of the cycles a hot soak period of up to 10 minutes is allowed. The power train shall be switched off during this period.
              3.1.2.5.3. The vehicle shall be driven according to provisions in Annex 4a, or in case of special gear shifting strategy, according to the manufacturer's instructions, as incorporated in the drivers' handbook of production vehicles and indicated by a technical gear shift instrument (for drivers' information). For these vehicles the gear shifting points prescribed in Annex 4a are not applied. For the pattern of the operating curve the description according to paragraph 6.1.3. of Annex 4a shall apply.
              3.1.2.5.4. The exhaust gases shall be analyzed according to provisions in Annex 4a.

              3.1.2.5.5. The test results shall be compared to the limits prescribed in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of this Regulation and the average emission of each pollutant in grams per kilometre for Condition A shall be calculated (M1i).

               In the case of testing according to paragraph 3.1.2.5.2.1., (M1i) is simply the result of the single combined cycle run.

               In the case of testing according to paragraph 3.1.2.5.2.2., the test result of each combined cycle run (M1ia), multiplied by the appropriate deterioration and Ki factors, shall be less than the limits prescribed in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of this Regulation. For the purposes of the calculation in paragraph 3.1.4 M1i shall be defined as:

               Where:

               i: pollutant
               a: cycle
              3.1.3. Condition B
              3.1.3.1. Conditioning of vehicle
              3.1.3.1.1. For compression-ignition engined vehicles the Part Two cycle described in Table 2 (and Figure 3) of Annex 4a shall be used. Three consecutive cycles shall be driven according to paragraph 3.1.3.4.3. below.
              3.1.3.1.2. Vehicles fitted with positive-ignition engines shall be preconditioned with one Part One and two Part Two driving cycles according to paragraph 3.1.3.4.3. below.
              3.1.3.2. The electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle shall be discharged while driving (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 can not 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
