2.2. Vehicles equipped with a compression-ignition
engine (Diesel)
a) Measurement of the opacity of the smoke in free acceleration (engine disconnected, of the speed of idling at the speed of power failure), speed at the Death point and clutch pedal.
b) Vehicle condition:
1. Vehicles may be checked without pre-condition, but not without ensuring, for safety reasons, that the engine is hot and in a satisfactory mechanical condition;
2. Subject to point (d) 5, no vehicle can be refused without having been placed under the following conditions:
i) The engine must be hot: In other words, the temperature of the engine oil measured by a probe in the gauge tube must at least be equal to 80 ° C or correspond to the normal operating temperature if it is lower, or the temperature of the engine block, Measured according to the level of infrared radiation, must reach an equivalent value. If, because of the configuration of the vehicle, it is not possible to carry out these measurements, the normal operating temperature of the engine may be established otherwise, for example, based on the operation of the fan of Cooling;

1. Visual inspection of any emission control equipment installed by the manufacturer to check whether it is complete and in a satisfactory condition, and if it does not leak;
2. The engine and, if applicable, the turbocharger Must be idle before the launch of each free acceleration cycle. For heavy-duty engines, this means waiting at least ten seconds after the release of the gas control;
3. At the beginning of each free acceleration cycle, the pedal of the gas shall be pressed rapidly and progressively (in less than a second), but not brutally, in order to obtain the maximum flow rate of the injection pump;
4. At each free acceleration cycle, the engine shall reach the power cutoff speed or, for the automatic transmission vehicles, the speed indicated by the manufacturer or, if not known, two thirds of the speed Power failure before the control of the gas is released. This can be ensured, for example, by monitoring the engine speed or by allowing a sufficient period of time between the timing of the gas pedal and the moment when it is released, or at least two seconds for the vehicles of the Categories 1 and 2 of Appendix I.
