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 neces-
sary, your dealer will contact Volvo Trucks
North America or other manufacturer for
any assistance.
In addition to this Maintenance Manual,
there may be additional instruc-
tion/operator's manuals supplied by
component manufacturers. These manuals
are placed in the Owner's Package and
placed in the cab. Be sure to read all the
manuals thoroughly before operating the
vehicle.
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.
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.

General Information

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.
NOTE! Federal law requires manufacturers
to notify owners of its products in the event
of a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
or if a safety related defect is discovered. If
you are not the original owner of this vehi-
cle, 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.
