General Information 1 Information For the Owner If there are questions on the maintenance and performance of your vehicle, please discuss them with your Volvo Truck dealer. Your authorized dealer is required to have trained mechanics, special tools and spare parts to fully service your vehicle. If necessary, your dealer will contact the man- ufacturer for any assistance. Establish a Preventive Maintenance Pro- gram with the help of your local Volvo Truck dealer. A Preventive Maintenance Program makes it possible to maximize the amount of time your vehicle is up and run- ning, resulting in longer component life.
This makes for a safer vehicle by reducing any mechanical failures due to poor mainte- nance practices. In addition to this Operator’s Manual, there may be additional instruction/operator’s manuals supplied by component manufac- turers. These manuals are placed in the Owner’s Package and placed in the cab. Be sure to read all the manuals thoroughly be- fore operating the vehicle. Various truck warranty coverage plans, con- tingent on application and weight class, are available. Please contact an authorized Volvo Truck Dealer for complete details. Replacement warranty certificates for Volvo Trucks are available from Volvo dealers.
Also, various safety labels may be placed on components by the component manufac- turer. Be sure to read and follow these labels to prevent damage to the vehicle, personal injury or even death. For trucks placed in service after August 1, 2000 and operating in the USA and Canada, Volvo dealers can print copies of the Standard Truck Warranty Certificate and the Premium (Purchased) Truck Cover- age Certificate. Copies are available in either English or Canadian French at the dealer communication system (DCS) web- site. Look in the Service/Warranty folder. Information in this manual refers to Volvo components and Volvo drivetrain.
Informa- tion concerning non-Volvo engines and/or drivetrains can be obtained by contacting the respective manufacturer. NOTE! Federal law requires manufacturers to notify owners of its products in the event of a non-compliance to a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or if a safety re- lated defect is discovered. If you are not the original owner of this vehicle, please notify us about the change in ownership at the address below or through an authorized Volvo Truck dealer. This is the only way we will be able to contact you if necessary. Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. Att: Vehicle Registration Dept. P. O. Box 26115 Greensboro, NC 27402–6115 United States of America
