General Information 1
Information For the Owner
If there are questions on the maintenance
and performance of your vehicle, please
discuss them with your Volvo Truck dealer.
Your authorized dealer is required to have
trained mechanics, special tools and spare
parts to fully service your vehicle. If
necessary, your dealer will contact the man-
ufacturer for any assistance.
In addition to this Operator’s Manual, there
may be additional instruction/operator’s
manuals supplied by component manufac-
turers. These manuals are placed in the
Owner’s Package and placed in the cab. Be
sure to read all the manuals thoroughly be-
fore operating the vehicle.
Also, various safety labels may be placed
on components by the component manufac-
turer. Be sure to read and follow these
labels to prevent damage to the vehicle,
personal injury or even death.
Information in this manual refers to Volvo
components and Volvo drivetrain. Informa-
tion concerning non-Volvo engines and/or
drivetrains can be obtained by contacting
the respective manufacturer.
Establish a Preventive Maintenance Pro-
gram with the help of your local Volvo
Truck dealer. A Preventive Maintenance
Program makes it possible to maximize the
amount of time your vehicle is up and run-
ning, resulting in longer component life.
This makes for a safer vehicle by reducing
any mechanical failures due to poor mainte-
nance practices.
Various truck warranty coverage plans, con-
tingent on application and weight class, are
available. Please contact an authorized
Volvo Truck Dealer for complete details.
Replacement warranty certificates for Volvo
Trucks are available from Volvo dealers.
For trucks placed in service after August 1,
2000 and operating in the USA and
Canada, Volvo dealers can print copies of
the Standard Truck Warranty Certificate
and the Premium (Purchased) Truck Cover-
age Certificate. Copies are available in
either English or Canadian French at the
dealer communication system (DCS) web-
site. Look in the Service/Warranty folder.
NOTE! Federal law requires manufacturers
to notify owners of its products in the event
of a non-compliance to a Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard or if a safety re-
lated defect is discovered. If you are not
the original owner of this vehicle, please
notify us about the change in ownership at
the address below or through an authorized
Volvo Truck dealer. This is the only way
we will be able to contact you if necessary.
