15.2.4.5.11. The area prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9. above may be viewed using a combination of direct view and indirect vision devices (of Class IV, V, VI).

              15.2.4.5.11.1. If an indirect vision device of Class IV is used to provide a part of the field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9., it shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision prescribed in paragraph 15.2.4.4.2.

              15.2.4.5.11.2. If an indirect vision device of Class V is used to provide a part of the field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9., it shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.1. to 15.2.4.5.4.

              15.2.4.5.11.3. If an indirect vision device of Class VI is used to provide a part of the field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9., it shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision prescribed in paragraph 15.2.4.6.1.

              15.2.4.5.12. The field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.1. to 15.2.4.5.4. may be viewed using a combination of a close-proximity view device (Class V) and a wide-angle view device (Class IV).

              In such cases the close-proximity view mirror (Class V) shall provide at least 90 per cent of the field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.1 to 15.2.4.5.4. and the Class IV mirror shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision prescribed in paragraph 15.2.4.4.2.

              15.2.4.5.13. Paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.12. above shall not apply to a vehicle where any part of a Class V mirror, if fitted, or its holder, is less than 2.4 m above the ground, regardless of its position after adjustment.

              15.2.4.5.14. Paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.12. above shall not apply to a vehicle of category M2 or M3.

              15.2.4.6.1. The field of vision shall be such that the driver can see at least a flat horizontal portion of the road, which is bounded by:

                  (a) A transverse vertical plane through the outermost point of the front of the vehicle;

                  (b) A transverse vertical plane 2,000 mm in front of the plane defined in (a);

                  (c) A longitudinal vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal vertical median plane going through the outermost side of the vehicle at the driver's side; and

                  (d) A longitudinal vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal vertical median plane 2,000 mm outside the outermost side of the vehicle opposite to the driver's side.

              The front of this field of vision opposite to the driver's side may be rounded off with a radius of 2,000 mm
