Sprinters (except 7022) have their ASW display unit located above the drivers head
- it was deemed that this is too high, and hence Sprinters were banned from running
over ASW territory.  7022 has it's dash re-arranged, the ASW display is on the dash
in front of the controls.  Sprinters *are* running to Ballarat for maintenance work
- I have seen several circulars - they are required to use portable ASW units!

Cheers,
CH.
