General Information 3 General Safety Information Operating the Vehicle Every vehicle, including heavy duty vehi- cles, has blind spots. The size of blind spots varies from driver to driver and from situation to situation. As a skilled, profes- sional driver, you are in the best position to avoid accidents in turns, lane changes or other maneuvers. Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. provides standard equipment (such as cabs, windshields, window sizes and mirrors), preferred by most owners and drivers under most conditions and in most applications. Never try to operate or work on this vehicle while under the influence of al- cohol. Your reflexes can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol.
Drink- ing and operating this vehicle can lead to an accident, causing serious personal injury or death. However, due to differences in the size of drivers, their seating positions, the way that they use and operate their vehicles, per- sonal preferences and other factors, no combination of mirrors and other visibility enhancement devices will eliminate all blind spots in every situation. The safe operation of this vehicle is up to you . Because of your special preferences, needs and circumstances, you may want to add extra mirrors and/or other visibility en- hancement devices.
If so, you should contact an authorized Volvo Truck dealer to obtain those parts which best fit your own personal needs and preferences. WARNING All items within the cab must be secured before the vehicle is set in motion. This includes, but is not limited to, drinks, clothes, books, televisions, etc. In the event of a collision, loose items could fly around inside the cab. This could cause personal injury.
