object shall have a painted patch measuring 0.15 m x 0.15 m that can be moved from the bottom to the top of the side of the cylinder.

              (b) The painted patch shall be of a colour that contrasts with both the rest of the cylinder and the test surface.

         1.2. Test object locations and orientations
         Place the test objects at the locations specified in (a) to (h) and illustrated in Figure B. Measure the distances shown in Figure B from a test object to another test object or other object from the cylindrical centre (axis) of the test object as viewed from above. Each test object shall be oriented so that its axis is vertical.
              (a) Place test objects A, B, and C so that their centres are in a transverse vertical plane that is 0.3 m to the rear of a transverse vertical plane tangential to the rearmost surface of the vehicle.

              (b) Place test object B so that its centre is in a longitudinal vertical plane passing through the vehicle's longitudinal centreline.

              (c) Place test objects D, E, and F so that their centres are in a transverse vertical plane that is 1.5 m to the rear of a transverse vertical plane tangential to the rearmost surface of the vehicle.

              (d) Place test object E so that its centre is in a longitudinal vertical plane passing through the vehicle's longitudinal centreline.

              (e) Place test objects G, H, and I so that their centres are in a transverse vertical plane that is 3.35 m to the rear of a transverse vertical plane tangential to the rearmost surface of the vehicle.

              (f) Place test object H so that its centre is in a longitudinal vertical plane passing through the vehicle's longitudinal centreline.

              (g) Place test objects A, D, and G so that their outermosts are in a longitudinal vertical plane tangential to the left-side outermost surface of the vehicle.

              (h) Place test objects C, F, and I so that their outermosts are in a longitudinal vertical plane tangential to the right-side outermost surface of the vehicle.

         Mechanical coupling devices and luggage racks located on the rear of the vehicle shall be disregarded.

         1.3 Test conditions
         1.3.1. Lighting.
         The ambient illumination conditions in which testing is conducted consists of light that is evenly distributed from above and is at an intensity of between 7,000 lux and 10,000 lux, as measured at the centre of the exterior surface of the vehicle's roof.
         1.3.2. Temperature.
         The temperature inside the vehicle during test is any temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C,
         1.3.3. Vehicle conditions.
         1.3.3.1 Tires.
         The vehicle's tires are set to the
