Insert a new Annex 13, to read:
“ Annex 13 Test Methods and Safety Provisions for Sonar Systems
1. System activation
The system shall be activated when the reverse gear is selected.
2. Driver interface and information presentation strategy
2.1. Audible information
When an object is detected in the rear horizontal area as described in paragraph 5.1. below,
audible information in accordance with ISO 15006 shall be given.
In presenting audible information, the distance may be identified at two or more levels. These
zones may be indicated by changing the frequency of intermittent sound, and faster
intermittent sound or continuous sound shall be used as the distance becomes closer.
2.2. Duration of signalling
Signalling for an object shall last as long as the object is detected and shall end when the
object is no longer detected or when the system is deactivated.
To reduce the driver’s discomfort, the audible signal can be automatically suspended
temporarily after a certain time set by the manufacturer has elapsed, provided that the system
remains to be activated. If, while the audible signal is automatically suspended temporarily,
the distance to the object becomes short, the audible signal shall be automatically resumed. If
the distance to the object becomes long, the audible signal may remain suspended.
3. General test conditions
8
The test object shall be as per Clause 7.1 of ISO 17386 :2010. During testing, the wind speed
must not exceed 1 m/s. The temperature shall be 20 5C and the humidity shall be 60 25%.
There shall be no rain or snow. The test shall be performed on a flat, dry asphalt or concrete
surface. The test must not be affected by the reflection of sound waves or electromagnetic
waves from any walls, auxiliary testing equipment or any other objects in the environment.
4. Dynamic performance of object detection
4.1. Detection latency
The detection latency as measured according to paragraph 4.2. must not exceed 0.6 s.
4.2. Detection latency test method
4.2.1. Test conditions
The testing environment and test object shall be as per paragraph 3 of this Annex. The test
object shall be located in the detectable grids within the rear horizontal area in paragraph 5 of
this Annex. The test vehicle in the initial state shall be with the detection system being
activated and shall be in a parking condition. Here, parking condition means the P (park)
position being selected in the case of vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions,
whereas it means the neutral gear being selected and the parking brake being engaged in the
case of vehicles equipped with manual transmissions.
4.2.2. Test procedures
(1) With the vehicle being in the initial state, locate the test object behind the vehicle and
select the reverse gear. In the case of vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, release
the parking brake after selecting the reverse gear.
(2) Measure the elapsed time (detection latency) from the moment at which the reverse gear is
selected to the moment at which the audible warning starts. In the case of vehicles equipped
with manual transmissions, the detection latency shall be the elapsed time from the moment at
which the parking brake is released to the moment at which the audible warning starts.
5. Rear horizontal area detection rate
5.1. Monitoring area
The maximum detection distance in Clauses 5.4.2 and 5.4.3 of ISO 17386 :2010 shall be [1.0]
m (Class R2).
5.2. Minimum detection rate
The minimum detection rate required for the rear horizontal area shall be as follows:
－ 90% for A1 as defined in Clause 5.4.3 of ISO 17386 :2010;
－ 87% for the rear-2 range in A2 as defined in Clause 5.4.3 of ISO 17386 :2010.
There must be no undetected hole larger than a square consisting of two-by-two grids.
Here, the rear horizontal area test procedures shall be as per Clause 7.3 of ISO 17386 :2010.

6. Self-test capabilities and failure indication
As per Clause 5.5 of ISO 17386 :2010.
7. Operation with trailers
As per Clause 5.6 of ISO 17386 :2010. “
