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:

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.

Seat Belts and Tether Belts
General Information
Seat belt assemblies are designed to secure persons in
the vehicle to help lessen the chance of injury or the
amount of injury resulting from accidents or sudden
stops. For this reason, the manufacturer urges that the
driver and all passengers, regardless of age or physical
condition, use seat belts when riding in the vehicle.
Seat belt assemblies in the vehicle meet Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 209, "Type 1," and "Type 2"
requirements. They are recommended for all persons
weighing over 50 pounds (23 kg).
A child restraint system should also be provided for
each child weighing 50 pounds (23 kg) or less. It should
meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213, "Child Restraint Systems." When provid-
ing such a restraint system, carefully read and follow all
instructions pertaining to installation and usage for the
child. Make certain the child remains in the restraint
system at all times when the vehicle is in motion.
In addition to seat belt assemblies, tether belts are in-
stalled on suspension-type seats. Tether belts help se-
cure the seat to the floor and are intended to restrain
the seat and seat belt in case of an accident or sudden
stop.
IMPORTANT: Seat belts have a finite life which
may be much shorter than the life of the vehicle.
Regular inspections and replacement as needed
are the only assurance of adequate seat belt se-
curity over the life of the vehicle.

Seat Belt Operation
Three-Point Seat Belt with Komfort
Latch
WARNING
Wear three-point seat belts only as described be-
low. In case of an accident or sudden stop, injuries
could result from misuse. Three-point seat belts are
designed to be worn by one person at a time.
1. Before driving the vehicle, slowly pull the link end of
the three-point seat belt out of the retractor and pull
it across your lap (from outboard to inboard) far
enough to engage the buckle. If the retractor locks
too soon, allow the belt to retract slightly, then
slowly pull it out again.
2. Fasten the three-point seat belt by pushing the link
into the buckle until it latches. See Fig. 2.8. Give
the belt a tug at the buckle. If the buckle unlatches,
repeat this step. If the problem continues, replace
the three-point seat belt.
3. Position the shoulder strap diagonally across your
chest. If desired, engage the Komfort Latch as fol-
lows:
Pull on the shoulder strap to lessen the pressure of
the strap on your shoulder and chest. Allow no
more than one inch (2.5 cm) of slack between your
chest and the shoulder harness. More slack can
significantly reduce the seat belt’s effectiveness in
an accident or a sudden stop. While holding the
belt slack, press the Komfort Latch lever up, clamp-
ing the belt’s webbing. See Fig. 2.9 and Fig. 2.10.

4. To unbuckle the three-point seat belt, push the but-
ton on the buckle. See Fig. 2.11. If the Komfort
Latch was used, release it by giving the shoulder
belt a quick tug. If you lean forward against the
shoulder belt, the Komfort Latch will automatically
release, and will need to be reset.
NOTE: The Komfort Latch does not have to be
released in an emergency situation. The Komfort
Latch will release by itself under rough road or
other abnormal conditions. Make sure the three-
point seat belt is completely retracted when it is
not in use.

from misuse. Lap belts are designed to be worn by
one person at a time.
1. Slowly pull the link end of the lap belt across your
lap. See Fig. 2.12. If it is necessary to lengthen the
belt, tip the link end downward and pull the link until
it connects with the buckle.
2. Fasten the lap belt by pushing the link into the
buckle until they latch. Make sure the belt is not
twisted. Check the engagement by trying to pull the
link out of the buckle. If they come apart, repeat
this step. If the problem continues, replace the belt.
NOTE: The belt can be shortened after it is con-
nected by pulling on the loose end until the belt is
snug, but comfortable.
3. To release the belt, push the release button on the
buckle and pull the link from the buckle.

WARNING
Never stand in front of the cab or under the cab
when the cab is being tilted. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury.
Easy access to the engine and transmission is provided
by tilting the cab. The cab can be tilted 40 degrees for
normal repair situations, or 50 degrees for removing
larger components. Torsion bars under the cab make it
easy to raise the cab by hand. A latching support arm
holds the cab in the tilted positions.
