>The switch housing and the push buttons are constructed of molded plastic. Each push button has a smooth finish and is clearly identified with the appropriate text and International Control
and Display Symbol icons. Several of the push buttons feature Light Emitting Diode (LED) units to give the vehicle operator an indication when the function of that switch is currently active. Only the hazard
warning switch push button latches, while the remaining switches feature momentary operation.</ptxt></para><para

replaced.</ptxt></para></servinfo>
