Introduction

This manual provides information needed to operate

and understand the vehicle and its components. More

detailed information is contained in the

Owner’s War-

vehicle’s workshop and maintenance manuals.

Custom-built Cargo vehicles are equipped with various

chassis and cab components. Not all of the information

contained in this manual applies to every vehicle. For

details about components in your vehicle, refer to the

chassis speciﬁcation pages included in all new vehicles

and to the vehicle speciﬁcation decal, located inside the

vehicle.

For your reference, keep this manual in the vehicle at

all times.

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which

could cause a crash or could cause injury or

death, you should immediately inform the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in

addition to notifying Freightliner LLC.

If the NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may

open an investigation, and if it ﬁnds that a safety

defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a

recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA

cannot become involved in individual problems

between you, your dealer, or the vehicle

manufacturer.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle

Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:

1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or

write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh

Street, SW, Washington, DC 20590. You can also

obtain other information about motor vehicle safety

from http://www.safercar.gov.

related defect to Transport Canada, Defect

Investigations and Recalls, may telephone the toll-

free hotline 1-800-333-0510, or contact Transport

Vehicle Speciﬁcation Decal

The vehicle speciﬁcation decal (Fig. 1.1) identiﬁes the

vehicle model, I.D. number, and major component mod-

els. It also lists the major assemblies and installations

shown on the chassis speciﬁcation sheet. A copy of the

speciﬁcation decal is inside the rear cover of the

Own-

er’s Warranty Information for North America

booklet. An

illustration of the decal is shown in Fig. 1.1.

NOTE: Labels shown in this chapter are examples

only.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard (FMVSS) Labels

NOTE: Due to the variety of FMVSS certiﬁcation

requirements, not all of the labels shown will apply

to your vehicle.

Tractors with or without ﬁfth wheels purchased in the

U.S. are certiﬁed by means of a certiﬁcation label

(Fig. 1.2) and the tire and rim labels. These labels are

attached to the left rear door post.

1. Date of manufacture by month and year.

2. Gross vehicle weight rating; developed by taking the

sum of all the vehicle’s gross axle ratings.

3. Gross axle weight ratings; developed by considering

each component in an axle system, including

suspension, axle, wheels, and tires. The lowest

component capacity is the value used for the

system.

Vehicle Identiﬁcation

1.1

If purchased for service in the U.S., trucks built without

a cargo body have a certiﬁcation label (Fig. 1.3) at-

tached to the left rear door post. In addition, after

completion of the vehicle, a certiﬁcation label similar to

that shown in Fig. 1.2 must be attached by the ﬁnal-

stage manufacturer. This label will be located on the left

rear door post and certiﬁes that the vehicle conforms to

all applicable FMVSS regulations in effect on the date

of completion.

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard (CMVSS) Labels

In Canada, tractors with ﬁfth wheels are certiﬁed by

means of a "Statement of Compliance" label and the

Canadian National Safety Mark (Fig. 1.4), which are

attached to the left rear door post. In addition, tire and

rim labels (Fig. 1.5) are also attached to the left rear

door post.

If purchased for service in Canada, trucks built without

a cargo body and tractors built without a ﬁfth wheel are

certiﬁed by a "Statement of Compliance" label, similar to

Vehicle Identiﬁcation

1.2

Fig. 1.2. This label must be attached by the ﬁnal-stage

manufacturer after completion of the vehicle. The label

is located on the left rear door post, and certiﬁes that

the vehicle conforms to all applicable CMVSS regula-

tions in effect on the date of completion.

Tire and Rim Labels

Tire and rim labels certify suitable tire and rim combina-

tions that can be installed on the vehicle, for the given

gross axle weight rating. Tires and rims installed on the

vehicle at the time of manufacture may have a higher

load capacity than that certiﬁed by the tire and rim la-

bel. If the tires and rims currently on the vehicle have a

lower load capacity than that shown on the tire and rim

label, then the tires and rims determine the load limita-

tions on each of the axles.

Refer to Fig. 1.5 for U.S. and Canadian tire and rim

labels.

EPA Vehicle Noise Emission

Control Label

A vehicle noise emission control label (Fig. 1.6)isat-

tached to the right rear door post.

It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the vehicle so

that it conforms to EPA regulations.

IMPORTANT: Certain incomplete vehicles may be

produced with incomplete noise control hardware.

Such vehicles will not have a vehicle noise emis-

sion control information label. For such vehicles, it

is the ﬁnal-stage manufacturer’s responsibility to

complete the vehicle in conformity to U.S. EPA

regulations (40 CFR Part 205) and label it for

compliance.

Cab Door Locks and Handles

The same key that operates the ignition switch is used

to lock and unlock the cab doors from the outside.

IMPORTANT: Each key is numbered. Record the

number so that, if needed, a duplicate key can be

made.

To unlock a door from outside the cab, insert the key in

the lockset (Fig. 2.1), and turn the key counterclockwise

on the driver’s door and clockwise on the passenger’s

door. Pull out on the handle to open the door. To lock

the door, turn the key clockwise on the driver’s door

and counterclockwise on the passenger’s door. The lock

cannot be operated when the door is open.

To lock the door from inside the cab, close the door,

then push the lock button down. See Fig. 2.1.

To open the door from the inside, pull the door latch

handle toward you. This will unlatch the door whether or

not it was locked. To unlock the door without unlatching

it, push up on the bottom of the lock button.

Door Windows

To lower the driver’s side door window, turn its regulator

handle clockwise; to lower the passenger’s side win-

dow, turn its handle counterclockwise. See Fig. 2.2.

Cab Entry and Exit

WARNING

Wet or dirty shoe soles greatly increase the chance

of slipping or falling. If your soles are wet or dirty,

be especially careful when entering or exiting the

vehicle.

access system while entering and exiting the cab.

Three-point contact means both feet and one hand,

or both hands and one foot.

When entering or exiting the driver’s side of the cab,

use the grab handles and access steps as follows. See

Fig. 2.3.

1. Open the driver’s door, and place anything that you

are carrying in the cab.

2. Place your left foot on the bottom step. Grasp the

instrument panel grab handle with your left hand

and the steering wheel with your right hand (Ref.
