voltage live parts from any direct contact.

              2.33. "Automatic disconnect" means a device that when triggered, galvanically separates the electrical energy sources from the rest of the high voltage circuit of the electric power train.

              2.34. "Open type traction battery" means a type of battery requiring filling with liquid and generating hydrogen gas that is released to the atmosphere.

              2.35. "Automatically activated door locking system" means a system that locks the doors automatically at a pre-set speed or under any other condition as defined by the manufacturer.

              2.36. "Latched" means any coupling condition of the door latch system, where the latch is in a fully latched position, a secondary latched position, or in between a fully latched position and a secondary latched position.
              2.37. "Latch" is a device employed to maintain the door in a closed position relative to the vehicle body with provisions for deliberate release (or operation).
              2.38. "Fully latched position" is the coupling condition of the latch that retains the door in a completely closed position.
              2.39. "Secondary latched position" refers to the coupling condition of the latch that retains the door in a partially closed position.

              2.40. "Displacement system" means a device by which the seat or one of its parts can be displaced and/or rotated, without a fixed intermediate position, to permit easy access of occupants to and from the space behind the seat concerned.

              2.41. "Aqueous electrolyte" means an electrolyte based on water solvent for the compounds (e.g. acids, bases) providing conducting ions after its dissociation.

              2.42. "Electrolyte leakage" means the escape of electrolyte from the REESS in the form of liquid.

              2.43. "Non-aqueous electrolyte" means an electrolyte not based on water as the solvent.

              2.44. "Normal operating conditions" includes operating modes and conditions that can reasonably be encountered during typical operation of the vehicle including driving at legally posted speeds, parking and standing in traffic, as well as, charging using chargers that are compatible with the specific charging ports installed on the vehicle. It does not include, conditions where the vehicle is damaged, either by a crash, road debris or vandalization, subjected to fire or water submersion, or in a state where service and or maintenance is needed or being performed.

              2.45. "Specific voltage condition" means the condition that the maximum voltage of a galvanically connected electric circuit between a DC live part and any other live part (DC or AC) is ≤ 30 V AC (rms) and ≤ 60 V DC.

               Note 1: When a DC live part of such an electric circuit is connected to electrical chassis and the specific voltage condition applies, the maximum voltage between any live part and the electrical chassis is ≤ 30 V AC (rms) and
