Foreword Introduction down coordination, or Fleetpack assistance. Our people are knowledgeable, professional, and commit- ted to following through to help you keep your truck moving. This manual provides information needed to operate and understand the vehicle and its components. More detailed information is contained in the Owner’s Warranty Information for North America booklet, and in the vehicle’s service and maintenance manuals. Reporting Safety Defects Custom-built Freightliners are equipped with various chassis and cab components. Not all of the informa- tion contained in this manual applies to every ve- hicle.
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. 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 Daimler Trucks North America LLC. For your reference, keep this manual in the vehicle at all times. 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 Daimler Trucks North America LLC.
