3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB 4599-2007, GB 4785-2007, GB 21259-2007 and GB 25991-2010 and the following apply.
3.1
adaptive front-lighting system; AFS
a lighting device, providing beams with differing characteristics for automatic adaptation to varying conditions of use of the passing beam and the driving beam with a minimum functional content as specified in 5.3.1.1. Such systems consist of the "system control", one or more "supply and operating device(s)", if any, and the "installation units" of the right side and of the left side of the vehicle
3.2
class of a passing beam
designation of a passing beam, identified according to the demands of lighting on different roads
3.2.1
class C of a passing beam
basic passing beam
3.2.2
class V of a passing beam
passing beam for use in lit areas such as towns
3.2.3
class E of a passing beam
passing beam for use on roads such as expressways
3.2.4
class W of a passing beam
passing beam for use in adverse conditions such as wet road
3.3
mode
front-lighting function provided by a system, which means a beam within the range specified in 5.3.2 and 5.3.3, either for one of the passing beam classes or for the driving beam, designed and specified by the manufacturer for adaptation to dedicated vehicle and road conditions
