Proposal to clarify provisions referring to the “vehicle master switch”. After a battery-off (circuit disconnection) event, some vehicle settings may turn to a default setting that is not the last setting. The proposal introduces an exemption applicable to FVA systems in such “system reset” cases.
41. The experts from OICA introduced: (a) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/7 to solve issues related to an “after a battery-off” (circuit disconnection) event, and (b) GRSG-129-35-Rev.1, for UN Regulation No. 39 (Speedometer), which clarifies that the Field of Vision Assistant (FVA) approved to UN Regulations No. 125 or 176 is not to be considered within the requirements of paragraphs 5.1. and 5.2. of UN Regulation No. 39. GRSG agreed to defer discussion on this subject (GRSG-129-35-Rev.1) to the October 2025 session of GRSG under an agenda item on UN Regulation No. 39 and requested the secretariat to transform it into an official document for the October 2025 session. GRSG continued discussion on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/7 and on GRSG-129-36 amending it. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands requested a time reservation on GRSG-129-36 to consider potential issues. The expert from France agreed with the expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, requesting further discussion. Finally, GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/7 not amended, and requested the secretariat to submit it as a proposal of Supplement 1 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 176 for consideration and vote at the November 2025 session of WP.29 and AC.1.
