the vehicle's placard or the tyre inflation pressure label.  Tubes may be installed to prevent tyre de-beading.

       4.3.4. Outriggers.  Outriggers may be used for testing if deemed necessary for test drivers' safety.  In this case, the following applies for vehicles with a Static Stability Factor (SSF) ≤ 1.25:

       4.3.4.1. Vehicles with a mass in running order under 1,588 kg shall be equipped with "lightweight" outriggers.  Lightweight outriggers shall be designed with a maximum mass of 27 kg and a maximum roll moment of inertia of 27 kg∙m2.

       4.3.4.2. Vehicles with a mass in running order between 1,588 kg and 2,722 kg shall be equipped with "standard" outriggers.  Standard outriggers shall be designed with a maximum mass of 32 kg and a maximum roll moment of inertia of 35.9 kg∙m2.

       4.3.4.3. Vehicles with a mass in running order equal to or greater than 2,722 kg shall be equipped with "heavy" outriggers.  Heavy outriggers shall be designed with a maximum mass of 39 kg and a maximum roll moment of inertia of 40.7 kg∙m2.

       4.3.5. Automated steering machine.  A steering robot programmed to execute the required steering pattern shall be used in paragraphs 5.5.2., 5.5.3., 5.6. and 5.9.  The steering machine shall be capable of supplying steering torques between 40 to 60 Nm.  The steering machine shall be able to apply these torques when operating with steering wheel velocities up to 1,200 degrees per second.

       5. Test Procedure

       5.1. Inflate the vehicles' tyres to the manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure(s) e.g. as provided on the vehicle's placard or the tyre inflation pressure label.

       5.2. Tell-tale bulb check.  With the vehicle stationary and the ignition locking system in the "Lock" or "Off" position, switch the ignition to the "On" ("Run") position or, where applicable, the appropriate position for the lamp check.  The ESC malfunction tell-tale shall be illuminated as a check of lamp function, as specified in paragraph 3.4.1.7., and if equipped, the "ESC Off" tell-tale shall also be illuminated as a check of lamp function, as specified in paragraph 3.6.2.7.  The tell-tale bulb check is not required for a tell-tale shown in a common space as specified in paragraphs 3.4.3. and 3.6.4.

       5.3. "ESC Off" control check.  For vehicles equipped with an "ESC Off" control, with the vehicle stationary and the ignition locking system in the "Lock" or "Off" position, switch the ignition locking system to the "On" ("Run") position.  Activate the "ESC Off" control and verify that the "ESC Off" tell-tale is illuminated, as specified in paragraph 3.6.2.  Turn the ignition locking system to the "Lock" or "Off" position.  Again, switch the ignition locking system to the "On" ("Run") position and verify that the "ESC Off" tell-tale has extinguished indicating that
