UN R46 Supplement 6 (04 series) · UNECE Regulation No. 46 (ECE R46) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of devices for indirect vision and of motor vehicles with regard to the installation of these devices.
UN R46 — Supplement 6 to the 04 series of amendments
Supplement 5 → 6
- What changed
- Within the minimum required field of vision (para. 16.1.1.3.), overlays must now display only safety-related rearward vision information, instead of rearward driving-related visual information.
- The sentence “Only temporary overlays are allowed.” is deleted from paragraph 16.1.1.3.
- Why
- The aim is to clarify overlay requirements in Camera-Monitor Systems (CMS) with respect to the spirit of the decisions of the informal group on CMS.
- The English text before this change can be interpreted in a way that overlays are only allowed when driving backwards (reverse driving). This is not the original intention of the text.

Before, they had to display only rearward driving-related visual information. The sentence “Only temporary overlays are allowed.” is deleted.

“The current English text can be interpreted in a way that overlays are only allowed when driving backwards (reverse driving). This is not the original intention of the text.”
The IWG on CMS decided that only information related to the rear view could be shown as overlay within the field of view. Other information, not related to the rear view, should never appear within the defined field of view.

“The group decided that only information related to the rear view could be shown as overlay within the field of view.”
“not related to the rear view, should never appear within the defined field of view.”
The text on overlays was created with a misleading wording. The French translation shows how the text can be misinterpreted: it allows overlays only in the case of reverse driving.

“As such, the text on overlays was created with a misleading wording. An illustration of the possibility to misinterpret the text is the translation into French.”
“The French text allows the use of overlays only in the case of reverse driving.”
