1.5.Warning indication
1.5.1.The collision warning referred to in point 1.2.1.1 shall be provided by at least two modes selected from acoustic, haptic or optical.
The timing of the warning signals shall be such that they provide the possibility for the driver to react to the risk of collision and take control of the situation, and shall also avoid nuisance for the driver by too early or too frequent warnings. This shall be tested in accordance with points 2.4.2 and 2.5.2.
1.5.2.A description of the warning indication and the sequence in which the collision warning signals are presented to the driver shall be provided by the vehicle manufacturer at the time of type-approval and recorded in the test report.
1.5.3.Where an optical means is used as part of the collision warning, the optical signal may be the flashing of the failure warning signal specified in point 1.2.1.2.
1.5.4.The failure warning referred to in point 1.2.1.2 shall be a constant yellow optical warning signal.
1.5.5.Each AEBS optical warning signal shall be activated either when the ignition (start) switch is turned to the ‘on’ (run) position or when the ignition (start) switch is in a position between the ‘on’ (run) and ‘start’ that is designated by the manufacturer as a check position (initial system (power-on)). This requirement does not apply to warning signals shown in a common space.
1.5.6.The optical warning signals shall be visible even by daylight; the satisfactory condition of the signals must be easily verifiable by the driver from the driver’s seat.
1.5.7.When the driver is provided with an optical warning signal to indicate that the AEBS is temporarily not available, for example due to inclement weather conditions, the signal shall be constant and yellow in colour. The failure warning signal specified in point 1.5.4 may be used for this purpose.
