The system used for displaying the messages referred to in this point may be the same as the one used for OBD or other maintenance purposes.

4.8. A facility to permit the driver to dim the visual alarms provided by the warning system may be provided on vehicles for use by the rescue services or on vehicles designed and constructed for use by the armed services, civil defence, fire services and forces responsible for maintaining public order.
