This SAE Standard is intended to be used for the communication of spatial data references between central sites and mobile vehicles on roads. References can be communicated from central site to vehicles, or from vehicles to central sites. The document may also be used where appropriate by other ITS applications requiring location references between data sets.

Almost all light trucks now are being manufactured with at least a driver side air bag and all will have dual air bags by 1998. The driving forces behind this feature are occupant safety, federal regulations, and competition in the industry. Along with the booming popularity of pickups and SUVs, they are commonly accessorized with a wide variety of products. Many accessories for four-wheel drives in particular are mounted on the front of the vehicle. These products include grille/brush guards, winches, snow plows, replacement bumpers, bicycle carriers, etc. Concerns have arisen over the compatibility of these accessories with the vehicle’s air bag system. The vehicle manufacturers are concerned because of their huge investment in design and crash test verification of the complete vehicle system and keen awareness of the federal regulations. The crushability of the front bumper and supporting structure are key elements in the system, so alterations to that area become logical concerns.

These remanufacturing procedures are recommended minimum guidelines (with the understanding that more stringent procedures are acceptable) for use by remanufacturers of heavy-duty starters to promote consistent reliability, durability, and safety of remanufactured starters. Installation of remanufactured or rebuilt products is often an economical way to repair an application even though the products may not be identical to original equipment parts. Before processing any part, a remanufacturer should determine if the original design and present condition of the core are suitable for remanufacturing so as to provide durable operation of the part as well as acceptable performance when installed on the application. The remanufacturer should also consider the safety aspects of the product and any recommendations of the original manufacturers related to remanufacturing or rebuilding their product.

The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish recommended uniform test procedures and minimum static load requirements for vehicle passenger door hinge systems. Tests are described that can be conducted on test fixtures and equipment in lab oratory test facilities. The test procedures and minimum performance requirements outlined in this recommended practice are based on currently available engineering data. It is intended that all portions of the recommended practice be periodically reviewed and revised as additional knowledge regarding vehicle hinge system performance under impact conditions is developed.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide a glossary of radial seal terms and nomenclature which are normally encountered in the design, manufacture, installation, testing, inspection, and failure mode analysis of radial seals. The information will aid in the understanding and communication among those people associated with radial seals.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes performance requirements for hardware used in motor vehicle seat belt assemblies when tested in accordance with the test procedures specified in SAE J140. Test procedures and performance requirements for retractors will be covered in separate SAE Recommended Practices to be issued later.
