UN R162 — Supplement 7 to the 00 series of amendments

New paragraph 0. adds an Introduction to the Regulation. Paragraph 0.1. says that the supplement is introduced to take into account vehicles of category X and Y. It is also introduced to take into account “vehicles with a manual mode operating at speeds above 6 km/h which are equipped with an Automated driving System (ADS)”.

Paragraph 0.1.1. says that the UN Regulation was originally drafted for vehicles with a driver and manual driving controls. The amendment intends to keep the spirit of the UN Regulation. It also intends to extend its application to vehicles without a driver and without manual driving controls in the vehicle. Without “driver/manual driving controls” in the vehicle, related provisions must not be taken into account if this amendment does not already cover them. Paragraph 0.1.2. says that, for vehicles equipped with an ADS, no special provisions or exemptions apply in the manual driving mode. In a mode where an ADS feature is active, the relevant ADS requirements apply.

New paragraph 2.4. defines “ADS feature of type 1 (ADSF-1)” as an ADS feature which includes an ADS fallback response requiring a fallback user. New paragraph 2.5. defines “ADS feature of type 2 (ADSF-2)” as an ADS feature which does not include an ADS fallback response requiring a fallback user. Annex 9, paragraph 4.3.2. uses the term ADSF-2.

The immobilizer must be set without supplementary action from the driver (if applicable) by at least one of the means in paragraph 5.2.4.1. The words “(if applicable)” are new. Means (a) is now the finalisation of each ignition cycle (or run cycle, as relevant) and activation of a door. Before, means (a) was rotation of the ignition key into the “0” position in the ignition lock and activation of a door. Immobilizers “which unset immediately before or during the normal starting procedure of the vehicle” are now permitted to set on “finalising the ignition cycle (or run cycle, as relevant)”. Before, they were permitted to set on turning the ignition off.

In Annex 9, paragraph 4.3.2. now lists three cases where the requirements in paragraph 4.3.1. do not apply. The new cases are (b) for vehicles of categories X and Y, and (c) when an ADSF-2 is activated by an authorized registered digital key. Case (a), during a remote-control manoeuvring and remote-control parking as defined in UN Regulation No. 79, was already in paragraph 4.3.2.

Footnote 1 now cites document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8 instead of Rev.6, without “para. 2”, and gives a new web address. Footnote 3 now says “As defined in Annex 3 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev. 8”. Before, it said that the distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement are reproduced in Annex 3 to R.E.3, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev. 6. Footnote (b) in Annex 2A now cites Rev.8 instead of Rev.6, and gives a new web address.
