         6.3.6.1.2.2.1.              Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the front fog lamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall under all the static conditions of Annex 5 automatically remain between the following values:
h ≤  0.8
Limits:    between -1.0 per cent and -3.0 per cent
Initial aiming:  between -1.5 per cent and -2.0 per cent
h > 0.8
Limits:   between -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent
Initial aiming:  between -2.0 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
6.3.6.1.2.2.2.              The initial downward inclination of the cut-off to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of one decimal place by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either the front fog lamp or the manufacturer's plate or in combination with the indication referred to in paragraph 6.2.6.1.1. by the symbol shown in Annex 7 to this Regulation. The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.3.6.1.2.2.1.
           6.3.6.2.                                  Front fog lamp levelling device
6.3.6.2.1.              Where a levelling device is fitted for a front fog lamp, independent or grouped with other front lighting and light signalling functions, it shall be such that the vertical inclination, under all the static loading conditions of Annex 5 of this Regulation, shall remain between the limits prescribed in paragraph 6.3.6.1.2.2.1.
6.3.6.2.2.              In the case where the front fog lamp of category "F3" is part of the dipped-beam headlamp or is part of an AFS system, the requirements of paragraph 6.2.6. shall be applied during the use of the front fog beam as part of the dipped-beam.
In this case the levelling limits defined in paragraph 6.2.6. may be applied also when this front fog lamp is used as such.
6.3.6.2.3.              The levelling device may also be used to automatically adapt the inclination of the front fog beam in relation to the prevailing ambient conditions, provided that the limits for the downward inclination specified in paragraph 6.3.6.1.2.2.1. are not exceeded.
6.3.6.2.4.              In the case of a failure of the levelling device, the front fog beam shall not assume a position in which the cut off is less inclined than it was at the time when the failure of the device occurred.
6.3.7.                              Electrical connections
It shall be possible to switch the front fog lamps ON and OFF independently of the main-beam headlamps, the dipped-beam headlamps or any combination of main- and dipped-beam headlamps, unless:
             (a) The front fog lamps are used as part
