Division 1 General

When performing measurements on a vehicle as described in this Part, the vehicle should be positioned in its normal ride attitude as described in point 2.3. If the vehicle is fitted with a badge, mascot or other structure which would bend back or retract under a low applied load, then such a load shall be applied before and/or while these measurements are taken. Any vehicle component which could change shape or position, such as ‘pop-up’ headlights, other than suspension components or active devices to protect pedestrians, shall be set to a shape or position that the test institutes, in consultation with the manufacturer, consider to be the most appropriate while taking these measurements.
