  1. Safety-Belt Reminders Proposal by France, Japan and UK GRSP – 12-15 December , 2006

  2. Purpose and justification • Purpose • Mandate a system to remind an occupant to wear its safety belt if it is not buckled • The system shall provide assistance to an occupant that accepts the benefits of the safety-belt. It must be a gentle reminder so as not to lead to rejection. • Justification • High rate of safety-belt use provides positive impact on road safety

  3. Principles • The alert will consist of two mandatory levels • A visual signal • Then, both visual and audible signals • The proposed text is compatible with international regulations and consumers requirements • A vehicle may be designed so as to both fit the proposed requirements and other requirements already into force (USA, Japan, Australia, Republic of Korea, Gulf Countries, and also NCAP)

  4. Scope • Proposed text • Vehicles of category M1 • Driver’s seat • Further steps • Other categories of vehicles • Other seating positions • Progressive enforcement due to : • Technical & economic feasibility assessment • Consumers’ acceptance

  5. Requirements • French proposal : documents GRSP/2004/26/Rev.1 and GRSP-40-03 Rev1 • Requirements to be introduced by a new series of amendments • Transitional provisions : • New types : 18 months after entry into force • All types : 72 months after entry into force • Derogation on transitional provisions for Contracting Parties yet applying such requirements

  6. Discussions since 2004 : deactivation • Taking into account Japan and UK comments, France proposed a text which : • Stipulates that contracting parties may allow deactivation of the safety-belt reminder • Gives a definition of what is a short term versus a long term deactivation

  7. Final proposal GRSP 40-03-Rev1 • This document includes GRSP and Japan and UK comments: • Colour of the visual signal not defined; but where red, ISO symbol needed • If vocal message, market language needed • Audible warning to be easily recognized by the driver • If long term deactivation specific tools needed • Inclusion of definition of “normal operation” • Inclusion of transitional provisions • Inclusion of TRANS/WP29/GRSP 2006/4 (Japan) • Some editorial improvements
