   An optical warning signal shall inform the driver that the anti-lock braking system has been disconnected or the control mode changed; the anti-lock failure warning signal specified in point 2.2.1.29.1.2 of Annex I may be used for this purpose.

   The warning signal shall be constant or flashing.

2. 4.5.2.

   The vehicle user's handbook provided by the manufacturer should warn the driver of the consequences of manual disconnection or mode change of the anti-lock braking system.

5. 4.5.5.

   Devices changing the control mode of the anti-lock braking system are not subject to point 4.5 if in the changed control mode condition all requirements for the category of anti-lock braking system with which the vehicle is equipped are fulfilled. However, in such a case, points 4.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.5.3 shall be met.
