Q1What changed4 changes

Where the FVA provisions apply (para. 5.1.3.5.)

Paragraph 5.1.3.5. says that the transparent field of vision as defined in paragraph 5.1.1. may be overlaid by information of a Field of Vision Assistant. It then names where the provisions of paragraphs 5.1.3.5.1. to 5.1.3.5.5. and 5.1.3.6. apply to such information. The words “outside of area S” in this place now read “above and on the sides of area S in the transparent area”. The other changes in paragraph 5.1.3.5. only add a full stop after paragraph numbers.

The transparent field of vision as defined in paragraph 5.1.1. may be overlaid by information of a Field of Vision Assistant. The provisions of paragraph 5.1.3.5.1 . to 5.1.3.5.5 . and of paragraph 5.1.3.6 . are applying to information from an FVA if overlaid in the transparent field of vision and outside above and on the sides of area S in the transparent area.
The information displayed by the FVA may be non-driving related, hence different to that listed in paragraph 5.1.3.5.1 . and not submitted to the provisions of paragraph 5.1.3.5.1 . to 5.1.3.5.5, ., as long as the parking gear/brake has not been released for the first time after the activation of the vehicle master control switch.

New lines in Annex 5

Annex 5 has two new lines: “Information to support driver’s setting” and “Highlighting edges of the position of the FVA area during adjustment”. The other changes in Annex 5 are in letter case and punctuation only.

Reference for area “S” (para. 5.1.3.4.)

Paragraph 5.1.3.4. now refers to area “S” as defined in paragraph 5.1.3.4.1. Before this supplement, it referred to paragraph 5.1.3.2.1. The rest of the paragraph, including the 20 per cent limit, does not change.

An obstruction between a plane through V2, and declined at least 1° below the horizontal and a plane through V2 and declined 4° below the horizontal will be tolerated if the conical projection of this obstruction, starting from V2, on an area "S" as defined in paragraph 5.1.3.2.15.1.3.4.1. below does not exceed 20 per cent of this area.
