Explanatory notes

(1)

If the means of identification of type contains characters not relevant to describe the vehicle, component or separate technical unit types covered by this information document, such characters shall be represented in the documentation by the symbol ‘?’ (e.g. ABC??123??).

(2)

Classified according to the definitions set out in Directive 2007/46/EC Part A of Annex II.

(3)

Delete where not applicable.

(4)

In the case of a vehicle that can run either on petrol, diesel, etc., or also in combination with another fuel, items shall be repeated. In the case of non-conventional engines and systems, particulars equivalent to those referred to here shall be supplied by the manufacturer.

(5)

This value shall be calculated (π = 3,1416) and rounded off to the nearest cm³.

(6)

Specify the tolerance.

(7)

Determined in accordance with the requirements of Council Directive 80/1269/EEC (OJ L 375, 31.12.1980, p. 46).

(8)

Vehicles can be fuelled with both petrol and a gaseous fuel but, where the petrol system is fitted for emergency purposes or starting only and of which the petrol tank cannot contain more than 15 litres of petrol, will be regarded for the test as vehicles which can only run a gaseous fuel.

(9)

The number of seating positions to be mentioned shall be the one when the vehicle is in motion. A range can be specified in case of modular arrangement.
