137 in the direction of travel and according to Annex 4 to Regulation No. 95 in the direction horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel. These forces and their method of determination shall be recorded in the Supporting Information held by the 'Manufacturer' and shall be provided to the Department on request.
The 'Manufacturers' may, use forces derived from the data obtained from alternative crash test procedures, but these forces shall be equal to or greater than the forces that would result from using data in accordance with the regulations specified above.
6.8.                                    For paragraph 6.11 of Appendix A, read:
         Low-temperature protection.
         REESS 'Manufacturer' must include within its Supporting Information, documentation explaining safety performance of the system level or subsystem level of the vehicle to demonstrate that the REESS monitors and appropriately controls REESS operations at low temperatures at the safety boundary limits of the REESS:
              (a) A system diagram;
              (b) Written explanation on the lower boundary temperature for safe operation of REESS;
              (c) Method of detecting REESS temperature;
              (d) Action taken when the REESS temperature is at or lower than the lower boundary for safe operation of the REESS.
6.9.                                    For paragraph 6.13 of Appendix A read:
         Warning in the event of operational failure of vehicle controls that manage REESS safe operation.
         The REESS or vehicle system shall provide a signal to activate the warning specified in paragraph 5.2.3. in the event of operational failure of the vehicle controls (e.g. input and output signals to the management system of REESS, sensors within REESS, etc.) that manage the safe operation of the REESS. REESS or the applicant shall include in its Supporting Information the following explaining safety performance of the system level or subsystem level of the vehicle:
6.10.                                For paragraph 6.14 of Appendix A read:
         Warning in the case of a thermal event within the REESS.
         The REESS or vehicle system shall provide a signal to activate the warning specified in paragraph 5.2.3. in the case of a thermal event in the REESS (as specified by the 'Manufacturer'). REESS or vehicle 'Manufacturer' shall include the following documentation explaining safety performance of the system level or subsystem level of the vehicle in its Supporting Information:
6.11.                                For paragraph 6.15.1 of Appendix A read:
         The REESS or vehicle system shall provide a signal to activate the advance warning indication in the vehicle to allow egress or 5 minutes prior to the presence of a hazardous situation inside the passenger compartment caused by thermal propagation which is triggered by an internal short circuit leading to a single cell thermal runaway such as fire, explosion or smoke. This requirement is deemed to be satisfied if the thermal propagation does not lead to a
