The work of preparing Internation
11、al Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO,
12、 also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical comm
13、ittees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the p
14、ossibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

BS ISO 4040:2009ISO 4040:2009(E) iv ISO 2009 All rights reservedIntroduction There is a recognized potential for errors in the selection of controls essential to the safe operation of a
16、 vehicle if these controls are not found in similar locations in all vehicles. The standardization of these control locations is therefore considered to be a logical and beneficial design objective, especially in view of the fact that drivers have more and more opportunities to use a variety of vehi
17、cles. BS ISO 4040:2009INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4040:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved 1Road vehicles Location of hand controls, indicators and tell-tales in motor vehicles 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the location of controls in motor vehicles by subdividing the space within re
18、ach of drivers into specific zones, to which certain controls essential to the safe operation of vehicles are assigned. It also specifies certain combinations of functions for multifunction controls and the degree to which certain indicators and tell-tales are to be visible. This International Stand
19、ard is applicable to hand-operated controls, to indicators and to tell-tales in all motor vehicles, excluding motorcycles and mopeds, as defined in ISO 3833. NOTE A specification for a control indicator or tell-tale does not imply that the item needs to be fitted. 2 Normative references The followin

38、ll be located within the restrained reach of drivers as defined in ISO 3958. For commercial vehicles and buses, these controls shall be located within reach of drivers wearing a lap belt, with unrestrained reach as defined in ISO 3958. 4.2 The operational areas of the following controls shall be loc
39、ated in zone 1: head lamp beam switching (high beam, main beam to low beam, dipped beam); head lamp optical warning (momentary high beam warning); turn signals (see 4.7). 4.3 The operational area of the master lighting control shall be located: to the left of the reference plane for left-hand drive
40、vehicles, or to the right of the reference plane, if panel mounted, for right-hand drive vehicles. 4.4 A portion of the operational area of a control for the audible warning (horn) shall be located either in zone 1 or zone 2. Additional audible warning controls may be located elsewhere, or may have
41、operational areas extending beyond these zones. BS ISO 4040:2009ISO 4040:2009(E) 6 ISO 2009 All rights reserved4.5 The operational area of the hand-operated parking brake shall be located: to the right of the reference plane for left-hand drive vehicles, or to the left of the reference plane for rig
42、ht-hand drive vehicles. If space is needed, the hand-operated parking brake may be located to the left of the reference plane for left-hand drive vehicles, or to the right of the reference plane for right-hand drive vehicles. 4.6 The windscreen washer and wiper control may be located on either side
43、of the reference plane. If there are two or more stalks in zone 3 (other than the gear selector), the windscreen washer and wiper shall be controlled by that stalk with an operational area closest to the steering-wheel rim (see 4.7). 4.7 It is strongly recommended that the requirements of 4.2 and 4.
44、6 be applied to both left- and right-hand drive vehicles. However, some countries have a long-standing practice in right-hand drive vehicles of mirror-imaging (about the reference plane) the controls covered by those requirements. In those countries only, 4.2 and 4.6 may be applied to right-hand dri
45、ve vehicles by substituting zone 3 for zone 1 in 4.2, and zone 1 for zone 3 in 4.6. 4.8 The rotary (e.g. key) ignition switch control shall be located to the right of the reference plane for left-and right-hand drive vehicles. For commercial vehicles and buses, the ignition switch control may be loc
46、ated outboard of the reference plane, so that it can be operated from outside the vehicle. NOTE When starting the vehicle from outside, there are additional safety precautions to be considered. 4.9 All or part of the hazard warning control shall be located inboard of the reference plane. For commerc
47、ial vehicles, the hazard warning control may be located outboard of the reference plane, so that it can be operated from outside the vehicle. 5 Requirements for combining functions into multifunction controls 5.1 The following pairs of functions shall be operated by the same control: windscreen wipi
48、ng on/off and windscreen washing on/off (if power-operated); optical warning and headlight-beam switching. 5.2 The master light control shall not be operated by the same control as that of any of the following functions: audible warning; windscreen wiping; windscreen washing; turn signal direction i
49、ndicator. A combination of the master light (see Table 1) function with these functions is allowed, providing one of the modes to be avoided for the function is chosen for the master light function. 5.3 For commercial vehicles, the turn signal and retarder functions should not be operated by the same control.
