"Adjacent", with respect to a symbol identifying a control, tell-tale or indicator, means that the symbol is in close proximity to the control, telltale or indicator and no other control, tell- tale, indicator, identification symbol or source of illumination appears between an identification symbol and the control, tell-tale, or indicator which that symbol identifies. 3.6. (...) The tell-tales for any brake system malfunction, air bag malfunction, side air bag malfunction, passenger air bag off, headlamp driving beam, low tyre pressure, direction indicator and seat belt shall not be shown in the same common space. 4.5.1.4. In the case of the telltale for a brake system malfunction, air bag malfunction, side air bag malfunction, passenger air bag off, low tire pressure, high beam, direction indicator, or seat belt that is designed to be displayed in a common space, that telltale must displace any other information in that common space while the condition for the telltale’s activation exists. 4.5.1.5. (...) The colour requirements regarding telltales for engine oil pressure and parking brake do not apply when those telltales appear in a common space. 4.6.
