Proposal to insert a new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 to exempt ACSF Category A functions from the requirements of paragraph 5.6.1.1.4, provided that the functions are intended solely to assist the driver in regaining vehicle motion in limited traction conditions in off-road environments up to 5 km/h (+1 km/h tolerance), are activated following a deliberate action by the driver with the driver in the driver’s seat and safety belt fastened, and allow the driver to override or deactivate the function at any time, with the manufacturer to describe system behaviour when operating conditions are no longer met.

Proposal to insert a new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 to establish exemptions for Automatically Commanded Steering Function Category A functions designed for off-road low-speed vehicle recovery manoeuvres, and amend para. 5.6.1.2.7 to increase the specified maximum Remote-Control Parking operating range from 6 m to 15 m.

Proposal to amend para. 5.6.1.2.7. to extend the maximum remote control parking (RCP) operating range to a maximum of 15 m if, prior to the operation, a visual message informing the operator of their responsibility is presented to and acknowledged by the operator. The justification notes that RCP systems with ranges exceeding 6 m are already offered in large markets such as Canada and the United States of America, and that such extended-range systems have been used in the field for several years without negative feedback or identified safety threats.

Proposal to amend GRVA/2026/34 proposing to amend para. 5.6.1.2.7. to modify the specified maximum RCP operating range from 6 m to 10 m, with provision to extend to a maximum of 15 m if direct line of sight between the remote-control device and the vehicle is ensured. The justification notes that RCP systems with extended ranges are already offered in large markets without regulatory limits, that radio wave-based ranging requires safety margins reducing effective usable range, and that increased range would reduce blind areas behind vehicles and allow drivers to better monitor surroundings while manoeuvring, reducing risks and increasing overall safety.
