Division 4.1.4

A tractor electrically connected to a towed vehicle via an electric control line, shall provide a clear warning to the driver whenever the towed vehicle provides the failure information that the stored energy in any part of the service braking system on the towed vehicle falls below the warning level, as specified in point 5.2.4. A similar warning shall also be provided when a continuous failure (> 40 ms) within the electric control transmission of the towed vehicle, excluding its energy reserve, precludes achievement of the prescribed service braking performance of the towed vehicle, as specified in point 4.2.3. The warning signal specified in point 2.2.1.29.2.1 of Annex I shall be used for this purpose.
