‘Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System’ (AVAS) means a system for hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles which provides sound to signal the vehicle's presence to pedestrians and other road users;

‘type of vehicle with regard to electrical safety’ means vehicles which do not differ in such essential respects as the location of conducting parts and components of the entire electrical system installed in the vehicle, the installation of the electric powertrain and the galvanically connected high voltage bus as well as the nature and type of electric powertrain and the galvanically connected high voltage components;

In order to exclude that application of the provisions on access to repair and maintenance information imposes too much burden upon vehicle manufacturers in the short term with respect to certain systems which are carried over from old to new vehicle types, it is appropriate to introduce an exhaustive list of certain limited derogations from the general provisions on access to vehicle OBD and vehicle repair and maintenance information as exhaustively listed in this Regulation.
