vehicles and indicated by a technical gear shift instrument (for drivers' information).  For these vehicles the gear shifting points prescribed in Annex 4, Appendix 1 are not applied.  For the pattern of the operating curve the description according to paragraph 2.3.3. in Annex 4 shall apply.

         4. TYPE II TEST METHODS

         4.1. The vehicles shall be tested according to Annex 5 with the fuel consuming engine running.  The manufacturer shall provide a "service mode" that makes execution of this test possible.

          If necessary, the special procedure provided for in paragraph 5.1.6. to the Regulation shall be used.

         5. TYPE III TEST METHODS

         5.1. The vehicles shall be tested according to Annex 6 with the fuel consuming engine running.  The manufacturer shall provide a "service mode" that makes execution of this test possible.

         5.2. The tests shall be carried out only for conditions 1 and 2 of paragraph 3.2. of Annex 6.  If for any reasons it is not possible to test on condition 2, alternatively another steady speed condition (with fuel consuming engine running under load) should be carried out.

         6. TYPE IV TEST METHODS

         6.1. The vehicles shall be tested according to Annex 7.

         6.2. Before starting the test procedure (paragraph 5.1. of Annex 7), the vehicles shall be preconditioned as follows:

         6.2.1. For OVC vehicles:

         6.2.1.1. OVC vehicles without an operating mode switch: the procedure shall start with the discharge of the electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle while driving (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

               – at a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up, or

               – if a vehicle cannot reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine, the speed shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine just does not start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer), or

            –  with manufacturer's recommendation.

          The fuel consuming engine shall be stopped within 10 seconds of it being automatically started.

         6.2.1.2. OVC vehicles with an operating mode switch: the procedure shall start with the discharge of the electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle while driving with the switch in pure electric position (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent from the maximum thirty minutes speed of the vehicle.

            Stopping the discharge occurs:

             – when the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed, or

             – when an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board
