This document applies to indicators and tell-tales on the instrument panel, and controls located near the driver mounted on motorcycles and mopeds (hereinafter referred to as “motorcycles”).2 Normative referencesThis document has no normative references.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 control A component manually operated by the driver to change the operating status or function of a device on a motorcycle. 3.2 indicator A device that displays the function or operating status of a motorcycle or its components. NOTE. This may include scale values, digital displays, etc. 3.3 tell-tale A light signal that, when illuminated, indicates the activation of a device on a motorcycle, or the normal or inoperative function of a motorcycle or its components, or a functional malfunction. 3.4 symbol A visual graphic used to identify controls, indicators and tell-tales. 3.5 common space An area where two or more corresponding symbols for indicators or tell-tales or other information may be displayed asynchronously.4 Requirements4.1 General requirements 4.1.1 Symbols for controls and tell-tales shall have a clear contrast with the background color to ensure visibility. The coating (plating) shall be permanently durable and shall not be easily removed by fingers. 4.1.2 When controls, indicators or tell-tales with the same function are combined, they may share one symbol. 4.1.3 Common spaces used to display multiple information shall meet the following requirements. a) When two or more tell-tales are activated, the information shall be automatically repeated in sequence, or the driver may select which information to view; b) Tell-tales indicating anti-lock braking system failure, high beam or turn signal lights shall not be displayed in a same common space; c) If any of the tell-tales indicating anti-lock braking system failure, high beam or turn signal lights are displayed in a common space, their activation sequence shall take precedence over any other information; d) Once activated, the anti-lock braking system failure, high beam, turn signal lights, and other red tell-tales listed in Table 1 shall not be automatically deactivated; e) Unless otherwise specified in a specific (other) standard, there are no color requirements for tell-tales when they appear in a common space. 4.1.4 If a motorcycle is equipped with controls, indicators and tell-tales other than those listed in Clause 5, the corresponding symbols may not be displayed. 4.1.5 If a motorcycle is equipped with controls, indicators and tell-tales specified in Clause 5, the corresponding symbols shall be explained in the motorcycle’s instruction manual. 4.1.6 Except during system self-tests, tell-tales shall illuminate only when activated. 4.1.7 Tell-tale functions are allowed to be provided through a combined instrument lighting. 4.2 Position requirements 4.2.1 It shall be ensured that the driver can identify the symbols for indicators and tell- tales shown in Clause 5 in the normal driving position. When an indicator or tell-tale is inactive, the corresponding symbol may not be displayed. 4.2.2 Symbols shall be placed on or adjacent to the corresponding controls, indicators and tell-tales. If this is not possible, a short solid line shall be drawn between the symbol and the corresponding control, indicator or tell-tale to indicate the connection. 4.3 Color requirements 4.3.1 Tell-tales shall use the following colors. a) Red indicates hazard, such as vehicle system failure, charging status, equipment failure, or impending failure; b) Yellow (or amber) indicates warnings or other conditions that may pose a long- term potentially hazard; c) Green indicates safety and normal operation. NOTE. Except for the blue specified in Table 1. 4.3.2 The color of each symbol used to identify controls, indicators and tell-tales shall be clearly distinguishable against the background. 4.3.3 For devices or systems that have temperature adjustment functions, the relevant symbols representing temperature, hot and cold shall be red to indicate high temperature or hot, and blue to indicate low temperature or cold.5 Symbols for controls, indicators and tell-talesFor controls, indicators or tell-tales installed on motorcycles, the corresponding symbols and the display colors of tell-tales shall comply with the requirements of Table 1.
