Proposal to clarify that indicators, their identifications, and the identifications of controls need not be illuminated when the driver intentionally deactivates illumination and the electric vehicle is not in driving conditions.
35. The expert from the Republic of Korea introduced a proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/4 and amendment GRSG-127-38) to clarify that indicators, their identifications and the identifications of controls need not be illuminated when the driver intentionally deactivates illumination and the electric vehicle is not in driving conditions. The expert from the Netherlands requested a study reservation for further development. The expert from the United Kingdom questioned the need of amending the UN Regulation to provide this allowance and proposed to discuss it with the type approval authorities of his country and with all other interested parties to resolve this matter. GRSG agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its October 2024 session based on a revised proposal. At the same time, all interested parties were invited to liaise with the expert from the Republic of Korea to further develop the proposal.
