Proposal to insert Footnote 18 for Tell-tale 1 (Master lighting switch) stating, “Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.”

Proposal to delete footnote ¹⁸ of Table 1 regarding telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). The footnote is redundant and potentially confusing since UN R121 already refers to paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004 which states, “A given symbol may be shown in more than one of the colours specified in 5.1 in order to convey a change in the operating condition.”

Proposal from the WP.29 Secretariat for additional corrections to the table of tell-tales, concerning items 31 (Combustion
pre-heat; engine start aid) and 32 (Choke (cold starting device)).

Proposal to add a telltale and symbols for “Accident Emergency Call System (AECS)” and to align UN R121 with the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16:

1. the term “seat belt” is replaced by “safety belt”,
2. the symbol for safety belt, defined in item 21 of Table 1 in the Regulation, may be displayed in different colours to convey different meanings. Therefore, the existing footnote 18 has been added to item 21, and
3. this symbol may be replaced by different symbols for seats other than those of the front row. Therefore, a new footnote 22 is added to item 21.

Proposal to clarify that footnote ¹⁸ of Table 1 applies to telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). Footnote ¹⁸ states, “Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.”

Proposal to clarify that in the case where telltale No. 1 (Master lighting switch) and telltale No. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps) are combined, the symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in the table of telltales in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004 (i.e., per footnote 18 to the table).

Proposal to correct the translation into Russian of Table 1 in document GRSG/2017/5.

1. the term “seat belt” is replaced by “safety belt”,

3. this symbol may be replaced by different symbols for seats other than those of the front row. Therefore, a new footnote 22 is added to item 21.

This proposal also aligns UN R121 with ISO 2575 per ISO Resolution 664 allowing for use of the diesel engine glow plug symbol with non-diesel technologies that (also) assist engine starting at low temperatures. The current text of the Regulation focuses on diesel engine glow plugs that assist in starting the engine at low temperatures.
