TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Gerhard Pilz of Mercedes-Benz of North America telephoned me on June 20, 1973, and stated that because of emission requirements, the 1974 model consumer information provided for acceleration and passing ability will differ between vehicles sold in California and those in the rest of the United States. He asked whether the following format (as I understood it) would be acceptable as a modification of Figure 1:

SUMMARY TABLE

Low Speed Pass Feet; Seconds

(California vehicles Feet; Seconds)

I replied that I saw no legal objection to it.
