  "text": "‘Bonnet leading edge reference line’ is defined as the geometric trace of the points of contact between a straight edge 1 000 mm long and the front surface of the bonnet, when the straight edge, held parallel to the vertical longitudinal plane of the car and inclined rearwards by 50° and with the lower end 600 mm above the ground, is traversed across and in contact with the bonnet leading edge (See Figure 4). For vehicles having the bonnet top surface inclined at essentially 50°, so that the straight edge makes a continuous contact or multiple contacts rather than a point contact, determine the reference line with the straight edge inclined rearwards at an angle of 40°. For vehicles of such shape that the bottom end of the straight edge makes first contact then that contact is taken to be the bonnet leading edge reference line, at that lateral position. For vehicles of such shape that the top end of the straight edge makes first contact then the geometric trace of 1 000 mm wrap around distance as defined in point 2.8, will be used as bonnet leading edge reference line at that lateral position.\nThe top edge of the bumper shall also be regarded as the bonnet leading edge for this Commitment, if it is contacted by the straight edge during this procedure.",
