1.2 Emission, Noise and Safety

The purpose of this information and the following summarized text is to
assist you in interpreting the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) for
vehicles and how to apply to the sale of the Unimog U500 NA in the
U.S. and Canada.
Unimog U500 NA manufactured by Freightliner LLC is certified for com-
pliance with the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The vehicle certification is a requirement of the National Traffic and Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Act (United States) and Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Act (Canada). The FMVSS and CMVSS regulations control the
manufacturer and sale of motor vehicles and their usage. Other laws
apply to the application and use of vehicles. Owners or operators using
vehicles are responsible for those vehicles meeting certain legal re-
quirements. The MVSS laws, by contrast, put the burden of obeying the
law on the manufacturer, dealer, or body manufacturer who sells the
completed vehicle to the end user. For this reason, it is important that all
concerned parties review information carefully to ensure compliance
with the MVSS laws and related safety standards. It is recommended
that dealers and others concerned review this information with their legal
counsel.
No modification or addition to the vehicle can be made which cause
noncompliance with any FMVSS or CMVSS, as applicable, as certified
by Freightliner LLC.
