kind of a guess on the fed requirement for the OXS..
that was about when many cars started having oxygen  sensors ..
that counter system was common on VW's at the time...

mabye I was just guessing too wildly there saying having that warning was an
actual federal requirement ..
but how about this one ../........
that little diagram next to the heater controls....
that shows all levers right and fan on # 2  for defrost. .
that IS a fedeeral requirement, that that discription and diagram there.

so why do you think candian model sycnro's don't have the warning light ?
I saw the comment on figuring that syncro's would get more dealer service.
