M3 the deactivation of the information signal as a result of the vehicle turning away from the bicycle trajectory is not allowed as long as a collision between vehicle and bicycle is still possible, in case the driver would steer back towards the bicycle trajectory.

              5.3.1.1. The information signal shall meet the requirements as defined in paragraph 5.4. below.

              5.3.1.2. The warning signal shall meet the requirements of paragraph 5.5. below. It may be deactivated manually. In the case of a manual deactivation, it shall be reactivated upon each activation of the vehicle master control switch.

              5.3.1.3. The BSIS shall at least operate for all forward vehicle speeds from standstill to 30 km/h, for ambient light conditions above 15 Lux.

              5.3.1.4. The BSIS shall give an information signal at last point of information, for a bicycle moving with a speed between 5 km/h and 20 km/h, at a lateral separation between bicycle and vehicle of between 0.9 and 4.25 metres, which could result in a collision between bicycle and vehicle with an impact position 0 to 6 m with respect to the vehicle front right corner, if typical steering motion would be applied by the vehicle driver. The information signal shall not be visible before the first point of information. It shall be given between the first point of information and the last point of information. It shall also give an information signal for a bicycle moving with a speed between 5 km/h and 20 km/h, at a lateral separation of between 0.25 m up to 0.9 m and longitudinally located between -0,6 and +0,6 m in reference to the centre of the most forward front wheel while driving straight. However, the information signal is not required when the relative longitudinal distance between bicycle and front right corner of the vehicle is more than 30 m to the rear or 7 m to the front. Furthermore, the information signal is not required if the TTC is higher than 9 s.

              5.3.1.4.1. For vehicles of categories N2 with a technically permissible maximum mass not exceeding 8 tons and M2 the Blind Spot Information signal shall be activated for a bicycle target moving longitudinally forward with a speed between 5 km/h and 20 km/h, entering in the zone as specified in paragraph 6.5.11. when the vehicle is moving forward.

              5.3.1.4.2. In addition, the Blind Spot Information signal shall be activated for a bicycle target moving longitudinally forward with a speed between 5 km/h and 20 km/h from the rear entering the zone as specified in paragraph 6.6.3. when the vehicle is stationary. In such case, the information signal shall be maintained as long as the bicycle is in the defined zone or
