The alarm lamps notifying on approach of term of planned maintenance

All models described in this manual are equipped with different types of the alarm lamps arranged on dashboards which automatically light up after passing by the car of a certain number of kilometers. These lamps can be disconnected only by means of the special tool which is inserted into the socket located in a motive compartment.
