system which operates on the brakes on all wheels, by way of either:

            (a) A split service brake system; or

            (b) A CBS that operates the brakes on all wheels and a secondary brake system, which may be the parking brake system.

       5.1.9. In cases where two separate service brake systems are installed, the systems may share a common brake, a common transmission, or both if the requirements of Annex 3, paragraph 12. Are met.

       5.1.10. For vehicles that use hydraulic fluid for brake force transmission, the master cylinder shall:

           (a)           Have a sealed, covered, separate reservoir for each brake system;

           (b)          Have a minimum reservoir capacity equivalent to 1.5 times the total fluid displacement required to satisfy the new to fully worn lining condition with the worst case brake adjustment condition; and

            (c) Have a reservoir where the fluid level is visible for checking without removal of the cover.

       5.1.11. All warning lamps shall be mounted in the rider's view.

       5.1.12. Vehicles that are equipped with a split service brake system shall be fitted with a red warning lamp, which shall be activated:

            (a) When there is a hydraulic failure on the application of a force of ≤ 90 N on the control; or

            (b) Without actuation of the brake control, when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir falls below the greater of:

               (i)            That which is specified by the manufacturer; and

             (ii) That which is less than or equal to half of the fluid reservoir capacity.

        To permit function checking, the warning lamp shall be illuminated by the activation of the ignition switch and shall be extinguished when the check has been completed.  The warning lamp shall remain on while a failure condition exists whenever the ignition switch is in the "on" position.

       5.1.13. Vehicles that are equipped with an ABS system shall be fitted with a yellow warning lamp.  The lamp shall be activated whenever there is a malfunction that affects the generation or transmission of signals in the vehicle's ABS system.

        To permit function checking, the warning lamp shall be illuminated by the activation of the ignition switch and extinguished when the check has been completed.

        The warning lamp shall remain on while a failure condition exists whenever the ignition switch is in the "on" position.

       5.1.14. The effectiveness of the braking systems, including the anti-lock system, shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields. This shall be demonstrated by fulfilling the technical requirements and respecting the transitional provisions of Regulation No. 10 (EMC) by applying:

            (a) The 03 series of amendments for vehicles without a coupling system for charging the Rechargeable Electric Energy Storage System (traction batteries);

            (b) The 04
