ATTACHMT: MEMO DATED 4-14-88, TO ERIKA Z. JONES, FROM C. DIANNE BLACK -- JAGUAR, REF: FMVSS 108, HEADLAMP LEVELLING SYSTEM

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of April 14, 1988, providing further information about the Jaguar headlamp levelling system discussed in your letters of June and October 1987 to which I responded on February 1, 1988.

We support your efforts to call the driver's attention to the fact that the system does not automatically return to the "zero" position from either of the two adjustment positions when those loading conditions no longer exist.
