Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) Labels
In Canada, tractors with fifth wheels are certified by
means of a "Statement of Compliance" label and the
Canadian National Safety Mark (Fig. 1.5), which are
attached to the left rear door post. In addition, tire
and rim labels (Fig. 1.6) are also attached to the left
rear door post.
If purchased for service in Canada, trucks built with-
out a cargo body and tractors built without a fifth
wheel are certified by a "Statement of Compliance"
label, similar to Fig. 1.2. This label must be attached
by the final-stage manufacturer after completion of
the vehicle. The label is located on the left rear door
post, and certifies that the vehicle conforms to all
applicable CMVSS regulations in effect on the date
of completion.
Tire and Rim Labels
Tire and rim labels certify suitable tire and rim combi-
nations that can be installed on the vehicle, for the
given gross axle weight rating. Tires and rims in-
stalled on the vehicle at the time of manufacture may
have a higher load capacity than that certified by the
tire and rim label. If the tires and rims currently on
the vehicle have a lower load capacity than that
shown on the tire and rim label, then the tires and
rims determine the load limitations on each of the
axles.
See Fig. 1.6 for U.S. and Canadian tire and rim la-
bels.
EPA Emission Control
Vehicle Noise Emission Control Label
A vehicle noise emission control label (Fig. 1.7)is
attached either to the left side of the dashboard or to
the top-right surface of the frontwall between the
dash and the windshield.
IMPORTANT: Certain Freightliner incomplete
vehicles may be produced with incomplete noise
control hardware. Such vehicles will not have a
vehicle noise emission control information label.
For such vehicles, it is the final-stage manufac-
turer’s responsibility to complete the vehicle in
conformity to U.S. EPA regulations (40 CFR Part
205) and label it for compliance.
EPA07 Exhaust Emissions
To meet January 2007 emissions regulations, ve-
hicles with engines manufactured after January 1,
2007, are equipped with an emission aftertreatment
device. There is a warning label on the driver’s sun-
visor, explaining important new warning indicators in
the driver’s message display, that pertain to the after-
treatment system. See Fig. 1.8.

the sum of all the vehicle’s gross axle ratings
3. Gross Axle Weight Ratings: developed by
considering each component in an axle system —
including suspension, axle, wheels, and tires — and
using the lowest component capacity as the value
for the system
