the intersection of the steering wheel axis of rotation and the plane of the steering wheel, and totally within the space bounded by:
4.2.12.1.                    the right-hand internal side wall;
4.2.12.2.                    a vertical plane along the longitudinal centre line of the vehicle;
4.2.12.3.                    a horizontal plane through a point on the lower edge of the instrument panel; and
4.2.12.4.                    a horizontal plane 150 mm above the highest point on the windscreen glass.
4.3.                                    'Parking Brake System 35/..'
4.3.1.                              The vehicle must be equipped with a 'Parking Brake System 35/..' such that in the applied position retention is effected by mechanical means, and the braking effect is achieved by either:
4.3.1.1.                        the frictional force developed between two friction surfaces; or
4.3.1.2.                        the frictional force developed between two friction surfaces, together with a 'Parking Mechanism 35/...'.
4.3.2.                              The parking brake 'Control' must be separate from the service brake 'Control' and incorporate a device to retain it in the "brake on" position, and it must be designed to minimise the possibility of inadvertent release of the brake.  This requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if at least 2 separate and distinct movements are necessary to disengage the parking brake.
4.3.3.                              The 'Parking Brake System 35/..' must incorporate devices which compensate for any increased movement of its components arising from wear.  Such devices must themselves contain provision for securing them throughout their working range in any position to which they may be adjusted to or to which they may themselves automatically adjust.
4.3.4.                              The 'Control' by which the 'Parking Brake System 35/..' is actuated must be located so that it is readily accessible to the driver in the normal driving position.
4.3.5.                              On every motor vehicle equipped to tow a trailer which uses air at positive pressure the operation of the  'Parking Brake System 35/..' must cause the pressure in the 'Supply Line 35/...' to drop below 35 kPa.
4.3.6.                              Once the 'Supply Line 35/...' pressure has dropped below 35 kPa in accordance with clause 4.3.5 the 'Supply Line 35/...' must be restored to normal when the 'Parking Brake System 35/..' is released.
4.3.7.                              An additional 'Control' may be fitted to provide for the independent release of the trailer parking brakes.  Once the 'Supply Line 35/...' pressure has dropped below 35 kPa in accordance with clause 4.3.5 this control must restore the 'Supply Line 35/...' to the normal condition provided that:
4.3.7.1.                        two independent actions are required:
4.3.7.2.                        the engine is running; and
4.3.7.3.                        the 'Control' must automatically reset to provide for operation of the 'Parking Brake System 35/..' as described in clause 4.3.5 no later than upon the next application of the 'Control' for the 'Parking Brake System 35/...'.
4.4.                                    Parking Brake Indicator
