Heating and Air Conditioning System

Using the Heater

WARNING! Do not operate the sleeper heating
system or ventilating system around hazardous
fumes or exhaust gases. Hazardous fumes and
exhaust fumes may be vented into the sleeper
compartment causing serious illness that may
lead to death. Do not park your vehicle near other
vehicles that are idling or where other hazardous
fumes may be present.
WARNING! Do not operate the heater portion of
Kenworth Clean Power system in an enclosed,
unventilated area. Exhaust fumes from the air
heater contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas which if inhaled, can cause serious
illness. Never park in an enclosed area when op-
erating the heater.
WARNING! Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Do not breathe the engine exhaust gas. A
poorly maintained, damaged, or corroded exhaust
system can allow carbon monoxide to enter the
Kenworth
cab or sleeper. Entry of carbon monoxide into
the cab or sleeper is also possible from other ve-
hicles nearby. Failure to properly maintain your
vehicle could cause carbon monoxide to enter
the cab/sleeper and cause serious illness.
