Appendix 6

Meaning of notes : U.K.

A ₁ The fitting of ESC is not mandatory. In the case of multi-stage approvals, where the modifications made at a particular stage are likely to affect the function of the base vehicle’s ESC system, the manufacturer may either disable the system or demonstrate that the vehicle has not been rendered unsafe or unstable. This may be demonstrated, e.g., by performing rapid double lane-change manoeuvres in each direction at 80 km/h with sufficient severity to cause intervention by the ESC system. These interventions shall be well-controlled and shall act to improve stability of the vehicle. The Technical Service shall have the right to request further testing if deemed necessary.] U.K.
