discrete functions.

   BRAKE POWER ASSIST UNIT - a device installed in a 'Hydraulic Brake System' that reduces the operator effort required to actuate the system and that if inoperative does not prevent the operator from braking the vehicle by a continued application of muscular force on the service brake 'Control'.

   BRAKE POWER UNIT 31/00 - a device installed in a 'Brake System' that provides the energy required to actuate the 'Brakes', either directly or indirectly through an auxiliary device, with the operator action consisting only of modulating the energy application level.

   BRAKE POWER UNIT 35/... - a device installed in a 'Brake System' that stores the energy required to actuate the 'Brakes' and provides the energy either directly or indirectly through an auxiliary device, with the operator action consisting only of modulating the energy application level.

   BRAKE REACTIVE SUSPENSION - a suspension in which there is a transfer of vertical loading from one 'Axle' to another 'Axle' in the same 'Axle Group' due to the application of the 'Brakes'.

   BRAKE SYSTEM - all those systems and devices attached to the vehicle whose primary function is to translate energy and/or muscular effort of the driver, or in the case of trailers, energy and/or information supplied by the towing vehicle into a force that restrains vehicle movement.

   BRAKES - those 'Friction Elements' that are forced together by the influence of the remainder of the 'Brake System' so as to apply a restraining torque to the vehicle wheels.

   BRAKING EFFORT - the force applied to the service brake 'Control'.

   BRAKING INTERVAL - the distance measured from one point of application of 'Braking Effort' to the next point of application of 'Braking Effort'.

   BREAKOVER ANGLE - the supplement of the largest angle, in the side view of vehicle, that can be formed by two lines tangent to the front and rear 'Static Loaded Tyre Radius' arcs and intersecting at a point on the underside of the vehicle.

   BUCKLE COMPONENT - each one of the 2 parts of the buckle assembly designed to be latched to each other to complete the buckle assembly.

   CAB-OVER ENGINE VEHICLE - A vehicle where more than half of the engine length is rearward of the foremost point of the windshield base, and the centre of the steering wheel is in the forward quarter of the vehicle's 'Total Length.'

   CALIBRATION GAS - a gas of known concentration which is used to establish the response curve of an analyser.

   CARAVAN - any enclosed trailer designed primarily for human occupation whilst stationary.

   CARCASS - the tyre structure except 'Tread' and 'Sidewall' rubber.

   CENTRE HIGH-MOUNTED STOP LAMP - a supplementary lamp on the rear of a vehicle to provide an additional indication to
