6. PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS

In addition to the general specifications prescribed in paragraph 5, the protective device shall comply with the particular conditions prescribed below:

6.1 Protective devices acting on the steering

6.1.1. A protective device acting on the steering shall block the steering.

6.1.2. When the protective device is set to act, it shall not be possible to prevent the device from functioning.

6.1.3. The protective device must continue to meet paragraphs 5.9., 6.1.1., 6.1.2. and 6.1.4., after it has undergone 2,500 locking cycles in each direction of the wear-producing test specified in Annex 3.

6.1.4. The protective device shall, in its activated position, be strong enough to withstand, without damage to the steering mechanism likely to compromise safety, the application of a torque of 20 mdaN about the axis of the steering shaft in both directions under static conditions.

6.1.5. If the protective device is such that the key can be removed in a position other than the position in which the steering is locked, it shall be so designed that the manoeuvre required to reach that position and remove the key cannot be effected inadvertently.

6.2 Protective devices acting on the transmission

6.2.1. A protective device acting on the transmission shall prevent the rotation of the vehicle’s driving wheels.

6.2.2. When the protective device is set to act, it shall not be possible to prevent the device from functioning.

6.2.3. It shall not be possible for the transmission to be blocked inadvertently when the key is in the lock of the protective device, even if the device preventing starting of the engine has come into action or been set to act.

6.2.4. The protective device shall be so designed and constructed that it remains fully effective even after some degree of wear as a result of 2,500 locking cycles in each direction.

6.2.5. If the protective device is such that the key can be removed in a position other than the position in which the transmission is locked, it shall be so designed that the manoeuvre required to reach that position and remove the key cannot be effected inadvertently.

6.2.6. The protective device shall be strong enough to withstand, without damage likely to compromise safety, the application in both directions and in static conditions of a torque 50 per cent greater than the maximum torque that can normally be applied to the transmission. In determining the level of this testing torque account shall be taken, not of the maximum engine torque, but of the maximum torque that can be transmitted by the clutch or by the automatic transmission.

6.3. Protective devices acting on the gearshift control
