Proposal to amend UN R162 to introduce Supplement 6 to the original version. Supplement 6 addresses vehicles of category X and Y, as well as vehicles with manual mode operating above 6 km/h equipped with an Automated driving System. New definitions for ADS feature of type 1 and type 2 are introduced. Amendments specify immobilizer setting procedures and provide exemptions during remote-control manoeuvring, remote-control parking as defined in UN R79, for vehicles of categories X and Y, and when an ADSF-2 is activated by an authorized registered digital key. This document amends and supersedes ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2026/14.

Proposal to adapt UN Regulation No. 162 (Immobilisers) for automated driving system (ADS) vehicles. Supplement 6 extends the regulation to vehicles without drivers or manual controls, including category X and Y1 vehicles and those with ADS operating above 6 km/h. The amendment defines two ADS feature types and modifies immobilizer requirements to account for vehicles lacking traditional ignition systems and driver controls. Requirements for remote-controlled maneuvering and authorized digital keys are clarified.
