`
`<
`
`S1. Purpose and scope. This standard specifies requirements for power operated window, partition, and roof
`panel systems to minimize the likelihood of death or injury from their accidental operation.
`S2. Application. This standard applies to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and trucks with a
`gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less.
`S3. Definition. “Power operated roof panel systems” mean moveable panels in the vehicle roof which close by
`vehicle supplied power either by a sliding or hinged motion, and do not include convertible top systems.
`S4. Operating requirements. Except as provided in S5, power operated window, partition, or roof panel systems
`may be closed only in the following circumstances:
`(a) When the key that controls activation of the vehicle's engine is in the “ON”, “START”, or “ACCESSORY”
`position;
`(b) By muscular force unassisted by vehicle supplied power;
`(c) Upon continuous activation by a locking system on the exterior of the vehicle;
`(d) Upon continuous activation of any remote actuation device, provided that the remote actuation device shall
`be incapable of closing the power window, partition or roof panel from a distance of more than 20 feet from the
`vehicle;
`(e) During the interval between the time the locking device which controls the activation of the vehicle's engine
`is turned off and the opening of either of a two-door vehicle's doors or, in the case of a vehicle with more than
`two doors, the opening of either of its front doors.
`S5. (a) Notwithstanding S4, power window, partition or roof panel systems which, while closing, reverse
`direction when they meet a resistive force of 22 pounds or more from a solid cylinder of 4 to 200 mm in
`diameter and open to at least 200 mm, may close:
`(1) Upon the one-time activation of a locking system on the exterior of the vehicle,
`(2) Upon the one-time activation of any remote actuation device, or
`(3) Upon continuous activation of any remote actuation device capable of closing the power window, partition
`or roof panel from a distance of more than 20 feet from the vehicle.
`(b) The 4 to 200 mm dimension cited in S5(a) is measured from the window or panel's leading edge to the
`daylight opening.
