PART 1: INTRODUCTION VEHICLE SAFETY
(R05/10) Y53-6032 – 5 –
program or truck driving school. If you have not been
trained, get the proper training before you drive. Only
qualified drivers should drive this vehicle.
Safe driving is only possible with the proper concentration
on the driving task. Keep distraction to a minimum to
improve your concentration. Examples of distractions
may include radio controls, GPS navigation controls, cel-
lular telephone calls, cellular text messages, reading or
reaching for something on the floor. Minimizing your dis-
tractions will improve safe driving and will help avoid an
accident involving death or personal injury.
Be aware of local regulations that may prohibit the use of
cellular telephones while driving. In addition to being an
unsafe practice, it may be against local ordinances to use
cellular devices while operating the vehicle.
Every new Peterbilt vehicle is designed to conform to all
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards applicable at the
time of manufacture. However, even with these safety fea-
tures, continued safe and reliable operation depends
greatly upon regular vehicle maintenance. The vehicle
must be operated within the range of its mechanical capa-
bilities and the limits of its load ratings. (See the Tire and
Rim Weight Ratings label on the driver's door edge.)
