TRUCK-TRACTOR CONSPICUITY

To make the vehicle more conspicuous when approached from the rear (in
times when visibility is reduced), all truck/tractors built on or after July 1, 1997
have reflective devices applied on the rear of the cab and on the mudflaps or
mudflap hanger brackets if mudflaps or mudflap hanger brackets are supplied
from the factory. If mudflaps or mudflap hanger brackets are not supplied from
the factory, reflective devices will be applied on the rear, lower portion of the
cab. Refer to the illustration. Locations of these reflective devices may vary
from this illustration, depending on the cab model and/or equipment added
to the rear of the cab.
