Chapter 1 - Safety Safety Alerts and Warnings Please read and follow all safety alerts in this manual. They are for your protection and information. The alerts can also help you avoid injury to yourself and your passengers. The alerts can also help prevent costly damage to the vehicle.
Failures and damages caused by improper CAN bus connections are not covered by PACCAR warranties and may result in equipment or property damage. Cooling System Fill Cap Warning: Do not remove the radiator fill cap while the powertrain is hot.
Caution: The HV battery pack requires no routine owner maintenance outside of battery balancing, visual inspections, and long-term storage. If the battery service icon illuminates, contact a PACCAR dealership and do not attempt to service the battery. Failure to comply may result in equipment or property damage.
LV Batteries The following messages apply to low voltage (LV) batteries. Warning: Always disconnect the battery negative (ground) lead before carrying out repairs or service on the electrical system. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment, or property damage. Warning: Before attempting any work on the batteries or electrical system, remove all jewelry.
Instead, contact your nearest battery electric vehicle servicing dealership. Roadside Assistance Call toll-free to talk to someone at the PACCAR Customer Center. 1-800-4Peterbilt (1-800-473-8372) The Customer Call Center is open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and is staffed with trained personnel (English and other languages if necessary), free of charge, to provide total roadside assistance.

6. Starting on the driver’s side, place a drip pan under the end of the drive axle wheel hub to catch the lubrication. 7. With an impact gun, remove any axle shaft nuts, washers, and tapered dowels (if used). 8. Remove the axle shaft from the drive axle housing. Note: Do not use a chisel or any other wedge device to loosen the shaft.

3. Lower the right side. 4. Raise the left side of the axle 12 inches (0.3 meters) or more. Hold the axle in this position for one minute. 5. Lower the left side. 6. With the axle on a level surface, add the lubricant through the housing cover oil filler hole until the fluid is level with the bottom of the filler hole.
Chapter 2 - Emergency Emergency Operation Warning: High voltage shutdown should only be performed by someone who is both trained and certified. Failure to comply may result in personal injury, death, equipment, or property damage. Warning: Because EV’s can move with little or no sound, conventional methods of determining if a vehicle can be moved under its own power cannot be relied upon.
The above image shows location of the First Responders Label. Fire Instructions Warning: Do not touch any fluid on the vehicle during a fire. Certain plastic seals may produce gases that can form a corrosive acid if combined with water. Failure to comply may result in personal injury, death, and equipment or property damage.
Chapter 3 - Truck Operation Vehicle Display and Instruments This vehicle is equipped with a PACCAR instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and a battery electric truck display to the right of the steering wheel. Instrument Cluster This section explains the new telltale and gauge locations (relative to the previous diesel cluster). The following image shows the location of these telltales and gauges.
When the Coolant Overheats Turn on the hazard-warning flasher, immediately pull over to a safe place that does not impede traffic and place the truck in park. Key off the vehicle and contact the PACCAR Customer Center for direction: 1-800-4Peterbilt (1-800-473-8372). Stop Telltale...
High Voltage Hazard Procedure: 1. Pull over as soon as possible. 2. Remove the keys from the ignition. 3. Exit the truck. 4. Call the PACCAR Customer Center for guidance: 1-800-4Peterbilt (1-800-473-8372). Regenerative Braking Retarder Telltale Instrument Check: Yes Location: Cluster Color: Green Dial 1-877-777-5360 and then choose option 4 for Dana’s RTW warranty.
The regenerative braking retarder telltale will activate when regenerative braking is enabled. After every key cycle, the regenerative braking system will default to enabled. Warning: Drivers should disable regenerative braking under low traction road conditions (e.g., ice, rain, snow). Failure to comply may result in personal injury, death, equipment, or property damage.
Instrument Check: Yes Location: Cluster Color: Yellow RBS stands for “Regenerative Braking System.” This telltale illuminates when the regenerative braking system is active and is severely derated or disabled. This can occur when the battery State of Charge (SOC) achieves or exceeds 95%, or due to abnormal operating conditions -- such as extreme ambient temperatures or long downhill grades.
Location: Cluster Color: Yellow The Power Take Off (PTO) telltale will illuminate if you have an electric PTO (option) on your truck and it is enabled. Low Charge Level Telltale Instrument Check: Yes Location: Cluster Color: Yellow The Low Charge Level telltale is located in the charge level gauge. This telltale will have a yellow illumination when the vehicle’s high voltage battery is close to entering Limited Performance Mode and needs to be recharged.
Power Output Gauge Location: Cluster The Power Output gauge shows the power output from the HV battery pack. This includes auxiliary components (for example, cab climate control, powertrain fan, HV battery heater, HV battery chiller, lights, etc.). Gauge Values OFF: When the truck is not ready to drive, the gauge’s needle will stay at OFF. READY: When the truck has started up and ready to move, the needle will initially move to READY.
This is a driver reward system for efficient driving. This vehicle does not use the DFS system, but the bar may still appear in the instrument cluster display. Electrification Display Three System State Modes (Vehicle state is always display in the top right of the display). OFF –...

Chapter 4 - Quick Start Guide Charging the High Voltage Battery Pack Warning: Never spray liquid at high pressure towards the charging port while charging. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or damage to the vehicle, charging equipment, or property. Caution: Do not store the battery pack above 104 °F (40 °C) for extended time periods.
Charging Procedure Warning: If the key is in the accessory/run position after the charge session ends, the vehicle cannot shut down. This will lead to the low voltage batteries discharging, which may result in lower charge than expected when operating the vehicle. Always remove the key from the ignition switch after the charge session ends.

Warning: Do not turn on the Driver Controlled Differential Lock (DCDL) when traveling on a road with an elevated grade. Failure to comply may result in a loss of vehicle stability, which could lead to death, injury, or equipment and property damage. The DCDL can be turned on or off only if the vehicle is standing still or moving at a constant, slow speed with level traction.
Caution: The HV battery pack requires no routine owner maintenance outside of battery balancing, visual inspections, and long-term storage. If the battery service icon illuminates, contact a PACCAR dealership and do not attempt to service the battery. Failure to comply may result in equipment or property damage.
