CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 101, “CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS.” THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CONTROLS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING SIGNAL, HEATING/AIR-CONDITIONING FAN, AND WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING SYSTEM HAS ONLY ONE LEVEL OF BRIGHTNESS AND IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE CORRECT BRIGHTNESS SHOULD PROVIDE AT LEAST TWO LEVELS OF BRIGHTNESS AND BE ADJUSTABLE.
