MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations
Standard 114
General
114. (1) In this section, "self-mobility" means movement of the vehicle by
means of a rolling motion of all the weight-bearing wheels.
(1.1) This section does not apply in respect of a vehicle that has a GVWR of 4 536 kg
or more or to a walk-in van.
Locking System
(2) Every vehicle shall be equipped with a key-operated locking system that
(a) when the key is removed, prevents the normal activation of the vehicle engine or
other main source of motive power;
(b) when the key is removed, prevents either the steering or the forward self-mobility
of the vehicle or both; and
(c) where the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission control with
a park position, prevents the removal of the key unless the transmission or the
transmission control is locked in the park position or becomes locked in the park position
as the direct result of removing the key.
(2.1) Notwithstanding paragraph (2)(c), where the electrical system of the vehicle
fails, an overriding device may allow the removal of the key, if
(a) access to the means of activating the overriding device is protected by an opaque
cover that must be removed with a tool; and
(b) the conditions referred to in paragraph (2)(b) are met.
(2.11) Paragraphs 2(b) and 2.1(b)
do not apply to any vehicle equipped with an immobilization system that complies
with subsection (7).
(2.2) A vehicle referred to in subsection (2) may be equipped with an overriding device
that
(a) will allow the unlocking of the transmission or the transmission control; and
(b) is designed so as to be activated only by the use of a key or by a means the access
to which is protected by an opaque cover that must be removed with a tool and, where the
device is not activated by the use of a key, steering shall be prevented.
(2.3) No vehicle shall move more than 150 mm on a 10 per cent grade when the
transmission or transmission control is locked in the park position.
(3) Except where an automatic transmission control is in the park position, the device
for deactivating the vehicle engine or any other main source of motive power shall not
simultaneously activate the key-operated locking system referred to in subsection (2).
(4) The number of different variations of the locking systems referred to in subsection
(2) used by each manufacturer shall be at least 1,000 or a number equal to the number of
vehicles manufactured by such manufacturer, whichever is the lesser, taken separately for
each prescribed class of vehicle to which this section is applicable.
(5) Except for a vehicle that is manufactured for operation without doors and that
either has no doors or has doors that are designed to be easily attached to and removed
from the vehicle, a warning to the driver of the vehicle shall be activated whenever the
key referred to in subsection (2) has been left in the locking system and the driver's
door is opened, but the warning need not be activated.
(a) after the key has been manually withdrawn to a position from which it may not be
turned;
(b) when the locking system is in the ON or START position; or
(c) after the key has been inserted in the locking system and before it has been
turned.
(6) Compliance with paragraph (2)(c) shall be tested with the vehicle at curb weight
plus 91 kg (including the driver), as follows:
(a) with the vehicle on a level surface, move the transmission control to any position
where it will remain without assistance, including a position between the detent positions
but not including the park position and, at that position, try to remove the key from each
possible key position; and
(b) drive the vehicle up a 10 per cent grade, stop it with the service brakes, apply
the parking brake (if present), release the service brakes, move the transmission control
to the park position, apply the service brakes, release the parking brake, release the
service brakes, remove the key, verify that the transmission control or the transmission
is locked in the park position and verify that vehicle movement is less than or equal to
150 mm after the release of the service brakes.
Immobilization System
(7) Effective September 1, 2007, every vehicle, except an emergency vehicle,
shall be equipped with an immobilization system that meets
(a) the requirements respecting the
performance and testing of an electronic immobilization system that are set
out in National Standard of Canada CAN/ULC-S338-98, entitled Standard
for Automobile Theft Deterrent Equipment and Systems: Electronic
Immobilization (May 1998), published by the Underwriters' Laboratories
of Canada (ULC), except that
(i) the requirements set out in section 1.6 and the requirements
respecting non-OEM systems as defined in section 2, local noise
regulations and radio frequency interference immunity shall not apply,
and
(ii) a reference to a "manufacturer of an electronic immobilization
system" shall be read as a reference to a "manufacturer"; or
(b) the general and particular
specifications, operation parameters and test conditions of an immobiliser
that are set out in Part III of ECE Regulation No. 97, entitled Uniform
Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS) and of
Motor Vehicles with Regard to Their Alarm Systems (AS), as revised on
October 14, 2002, except that
(i) the requirements respecting aftermarket installation, type
approval and radio emissions shall not apply,
(ii) for the purposes of section 31.7, the word "rapidly" shall mean
less than 5 minutes and the words "time consuming" shall mean at least 5
minutes,
(iii) despite any statement to the contrary in sections 31.10 and

vehicle's brake system, and
(iv) for the purposes of section 32.4.1, the words "a maximum of 5
