Environmental Concerns and
Recommendations
Whenever you see instructions in this manual to
discard materials, you should first attempt to reclaim
and recycle them. To preserve our environment,
follow appropriate environmental rules and
regulations when disposing of materials.
Data Logging
This vehicle is equipped with a control module that
performs data logging capabilities.
This vehicle is equipped with one or more devices
that record specific vehicle data and may perform
some of the same functionality as a regulated Event
Data Recorder but the device(s) are not subject to,
nor designed pursuant to, 49 C.F.R. Part 563.
for the latest version of
The type and amount of data recorded varies
depending on how the vehicle is equipped (such as
the brand of engine, if an air bag is installed, or if the
vehicle features a collision avoidance system, etc.).
GPS location data, fault codes, and other technical
data may be recorded.
This data may help provide a better understanding of
the circumstances of a crash.
Personal data such as name, gender, and age are
not recorded. However, other parties such as law
enforcement, could combine the data logger's
contents with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
Emissions and Energy
Efficiency Compliance
This vehicle must be regularly inspected and
maintained as indicated in the eCascadia
Maintenance Manual, and in the Pre- and Post-Trip
Inspections and Maintenance chapter in this manual,
in order to continue satisfactory performance and
ensure coverage of the vehicle under the
manufacturer's warranty.
Many maintenance procedures ensure that the
vehicle continues to comply with applicable
emissions and energy efficiency standards.
Maintenance procedures, using components
engineered to comply with energy efficiency
regulations, may be performed by an authorized
Daimler Trucks North America dealer, an
independent outlet, or the vehicle owner or operator.
The vehicle owner is responsible for determining the
suitability of replacement components to maintain
compliance with federal and local jurisdictional
regulations. Components including, but not limited to,
tires, cab/sleeper side extenders, chassis fairings,
bumper, hood, and vehicle speed limiters are
specifically designed and manufactured to exacting
standards for regulatory energy efficiency. It is
important that these components are always
replaced with components that meet or exceed the
performance of the originally installed components.
It is a violation of U.S. federal law to modify vehicle
or powertrain components in any way that would
bring the vehicle out of compliance with certification
requirements [Ref: 42 U.S.C.
owner's responsibility to maintain the vehicle so that
