a seat belt.
4.4 If the following devices are controlled by the controls, the operational area of the controls
shall be arranged in zone 1:
---headlights (high beam, switching between high beam and low beam, and low beam);
---headlight warning (instantaneous high beam warning);
---turn-signal indicator.
4.5 The master lighting switch shall be arranged on the left side of the reference plane.
4.6 Part of the operational area of the audio (for example, honking horn) controls shall be
arranged in zone 1 or zone 2. The auxiliary audio (for example, low-speed tone) controls may
be arranged elsewhere, or the operational area can be extended beyond zone 1 and zone 2.
4.7 The parking brake hand control devices shall be arranged on the right side of the reference
plane. If space is required, the parking brake hand control devices may also be arranged on the
left side of the reference plane.
4.8 The retarder hand controls should be arranged on the right side of the reference plane.
4.9 The shift controls (except paddle shifters) shall be arranged on the right side of the reference
plane.
4.10 The windshield washer and wiper controls may be arranged on either side of the reference
plane. If there are two or more stalk controls (except the gear shift lever) in zone 3, the
windshield washer or wiper shall be operated by the stalk control closest to the steering wheel
rim in the operational area of control.
4.11 The ignition switch controls shall be arranged on the right side of the reference plane. For
Category-M2, Category-M3 and Category-N vehicles, the ignition switch controls may be
arranged on the left side of the reference plane, so as to facilitate operation from outside the
vehicle.
NOTE: when starting the vehicle from the outside, additional safety measures shall be considered.
4.12 All or part of the hazard warning controls shall be arranged on the right side of the
reference plane. For Category-M2, Category-M3 and Category-N vehicles, the hazard warning
controls may be arranged on the left side of the reference plane, so as to facilitate operation
from outside the vehicle.
4.13 The longitudinal center plane of the head-up display controls should be arranged near the
reference plane.
4.14 The panoramic image monitoring controls should be arranged on the right side of the
reference plane.
4.15 The reversing assist controls should be arranged on the right side of the reference plane.

reference plane.
4.17 When the stalk controls arranged on or near the steering column operate various functions
(see Figure 4), they should comply with the following stipulations:
a) When operating the master lighting switch, avoid implementing it by the secondary
operational surfaces (such as: protective covers and recessed surfaces, etc.) that may
be accidentally touched through operation;
b) When switching the headlight beam (high beam, high beam to low beam, and low
beam), it shall be approximately parallel to the steering-wheel axis, avoid pointing to
the steering-wheel axis, and avoid implementing it by the secondary operational
surfaces through operation;
c) When operating the audio (for example, honking horn) control, avoid being
approximately parallel to the steering-wheel plane, approximately rotating around the
steering-wheel axis, and avoid implementing it by the secondary operational surfaces
through operation;
d) When operating the windshield wiper, avoid being approximately parallel to or
pointing toward the steering-wheel axis (when the washer starts, the wipers can
automatically work), avoid implementing it by the secondary operational surfaces
(such as: protective covers and recessed surfaces, etc.) that may be accidentally
touched through operation (turn on / off only);
e) When operating the windshield washer, point it toward the steering-wheel axis or
approximately parallel to the steering-wheel axis, and avoid implementing it by the
