TEXT: Dear Mr. Medlin,

This confirms our phone conversation of this afternoon.

The master switch (# 2 on page 12-Drivers side control panel) has 4 positions: Engine stop, Run, Lights and Park.

These positions are engraved so that a back light allow liability in might driving conditions.

My questions is to comply with FMVSS-101-Controls and Display these positions of the master switch have to be illuminated?

If yes, please indicate where this requirement is established?

Thank you in advance [Illegible Words] in this matter.
