Paragraph 5.2.5.1. amend to read:
5.2.5.1. To open at least one door per row of seats. Where there is no such door, it shall be possible to allow the evacuation of all the occupants by activating the displacement system of seats, if necessary. This is not applicable to convertibles where the top can be easily opened to allow the evacuation of the occupants. This shall be assessed for all configurations or worst-case configuration for the number of doors on each side of the vehicle and for both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles, when applicable." Insert new paragraphs 5.3. to 5.3.2., to read: "5.3. Specific provisions 5.3.1. Vehicles of category M1 of a total permissible mass exceeding 2,500 kg that are based on vehicle types of category N1 of a total permissible mass exceeding 2,500 kg are deemed to meet the requirements of paragraph 5. where the requirements of UN Regulation No. 137 are fully complied with and at least one of the following conditions is met:
(a) The acute angle alpha (α), measured between a horizontal plane passing through the centre of the front axle and an angular transverse plane passing through the centre of the front axle and the R-point of the driver's seat (see Figure 4 below), is more than 22°;
(b) Or the ratio between the distance from the driver's R-point to the centre of the rear axle (L101-L114) and the centre of the front axle and the driver's R-point (L114) is more than 1.30 (see Figure 4 below). This shall be verified by the Technical Service and subject to the decision of the Type Approval Authority, as well as stated under point 8.2. on the approval communication of Annex 1.
