UN R162 — Supplement 2 to the 00 series of amendments
Supplement 1 → 2
- What changed
- Paragraph 5.2.1.1. now says “under its own motive power” instead of “under its own power” in the immobilizer design rule.
- Why
- Paragraphs 5.3.1.1., 5.2.13. and 8.3.1.1. of UN Regulation No. 116 use three different wordings for the same intent: protection of normal use of the vehicle/powertrain/engine.
- The proposal aims to clarify the difference between using the engine as a power source for motion and for another use, for example heating.
