TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of April 20, 1967, concerning the clarification of several requirements of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 105.

The bulb for the emergency brake system effectiveness indicator may also be used for the hand brake indicator light. Further, the means for establishing the electrical contact for testing the emergency system indicator bulb may be the hand brake lever.

This clarification is not considered as a change in the requirements of the standard as issued. All characteristics required for the indicator light must be met.
