PART 1: INTRODUCTION HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU WANT
PART 1: INTRODUCTION
This manual contains useful information for the safe and
efficient operation of your P eterbilt vehicle . It also provides
information on maintaining your vehicle in the best condition, with an outline for performing safety checks and
basic preventive maintenance inspections.
We have tried to present the information you’ll need to
learn about your vehicle’s functions, controls, and operation - and to present it as clearly as possible. We hope
you’ll find this manual easy to use.
Please remember -- this manual is not a training manual.
It can’t tell you everything you need to know about driving
your Peterbilt vehicle. For that you need a good training
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.
There will be times when you need to take this manual out
of your Peterbilt. When you do, please be sure to return it
to the cab when you are finished using it. That way it will
be there when you need it th e next time or when you pass
the vehicle on to the next user.
How To Find What You Want
There are several tools built into this manual to help you
find what you need quickly and easily.
First is the Quick Table of Contents. Located at the front
of the manual, this lists the main subjects covered and
gives page numbers where you can find these subjects.
Use the Quick Table of Contents to find information on a
large subject like “Maintenance.”
Cross-referenced citations also help you get the information you need. If some other part of the manual contains
further information o n the subject you are reading about,
we’ll indicate that in a cross-reference like this: (See
“PART 6: DRIVER’S CHECKLIST”). You won’t have to go
searching for more information.
Finally you’ll find a helpful Subject Index. It’s in the back
of the manual and alphabetically lists the subjects covered. So if you want information on brakes, for example,
just look under Brake in the Subject Index. You’ll find all
the pages listed where brakes or braking are discussed.

A SPECIAL WORD ABOUT REPAIRS PART 1: INTRODUCTION
A Special Word About Repairs
WARNING ! Attempting repair work without sufficient training, service manuals, and the proper
tools can be dangerous. You could be injured or
you could make your truck unsafe. Do only
those tasks you are fully qualified to do.
Your Peterbilt dealer’s service center is the best place to
have your vehicle repaired. You can find Peterbilt dealers all
over the country with the equipment and trained personnel
to get you back on the road quickly - and k eep you there.
Your vehicle is a complex machine. Anyone attempting
repairs on it needs good mechanical training and the
proper tools. If you are sure you have these requirements,
then you can probably perf orm some repairs yourself . However, all warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized Peterbilt service facility. If you aren’t an experienced
mechanic, or don’t have the right equipment, please leave
all repairs to an authorized service facility. They are the
ones equipped to do the job safely and correctly.
Maintenance Manuals. If you do decide to do any complex repair work, you’ll need the Peterbilt Maintenance
manuals. Order them from your authorized dealer. Please
provide your Chassis Serial Number when you order, to
be sure you get the correct manuals for your vehicle.
Allow about four weeks f or deliv ery. There will be a charge
for these manuals.
Final Chassis Bill of Material. A complete, nonillustrated
computer printout listing of the parts used to custom-build
your Peterbilt vehicle is available through the Peterbilt
dealer from whom your purchased your vehicle.
WARNING! Modifying y our ve hicle can make it
unsafe. Some modifications can affect your
truck’s electrical system, stability, or other
important functions. Before modifying your
vehicle, check with your dealer to make sure it
can be done safely.
Additional Sources of Information
Operator’s manuals are also supplied by the manufacturers of components such as the engine, seats, transmission, and radio in your Peterbilt. If you are missing any of
these manuals, ask your Peterbilt dealer to supply them.
Your new Peterbilt’s glove box also contains a copy of the
Truck Driver’s Handbook, published by the American
Trucking Association. Refer to it for important information
on driving your vehicle . Another pl ace to learn more about

PART 2: CAB AND FRAME ACCESS DOOR LOCK AND KEYS
Remote Keyless Entry (optional)
This vehicle may be equipped with a Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system that adds security and convenience
to your vehicle. The system will lock or unlock the driver’s
door and passenger’s door with the key fob and alert you
with parking lights when the selected door’s are locked or
unlocked. The system includes two key fobs that provide
secure rolling code technology that prevents someone
from recording the entry signal.

are open they will not lock. The range of the RKE sys-
tem should be approximately 30 ft. This will be
reduced if it is operated close to other RF sources
such as TV/radio transmitters and cell tow ers.
Batteries
The key fob uses one CR2032, 3V battery. Batteries
should last approximately three years, depending on use.
Consistently reduced range is an indicator that the battery
needs replacement. Batteries are available at most discount, hardware and drug stores.

PART 2: CAB AND FRAME ACCESS CLIMBING ONTO THE DECK PLATE
Climbing Onto the Deck Plate
When you are climbing onto and off the deck plate, maintain at least three points of contact with your hands on the
grab handles and your feet on the steps.
WARNING!
• You can be hurt if you aren’t careful climbing onto and off the deck plate. You can slip
and fall, especially if the surfaces are wet or
icy, or if you step in oil, fuel, or grease. Keep
steps clean. Always maintain at least three
points of contact between your hands and
feet and the steps and deck plate.
• Do not climb onto and off the dec kplate–use
steps and grabhandle provided. If there is no
deck plate, or if proper steps and grab handles aren’t provided, don’t c limb onto the area
behind the cab. Peterbilt did not intend for the
area to be a step if handrails or proper steps
are not provided.
WARNING! Do not step on vehicle components without antiskid surfaces or use components not designed for entry-and-exit use.
You could fall and injure yourself if you step
on a slippery surface. For example:
• You could fall and injure yourself if you step
onto a fuel tank surface. A fuel tank is not a
step. The tank surface can get very slippery,
and you might not be able to prevent a fall.
Don’t step onto the surface of a fuel tank. Use
only the steps and handholds provided, not
chain hooks, quarter fenders, etc.
• Always reinstall steps before entering the
cab or accessing the deck plate. Without
steps, you could sli p and fall, resulting in possible injury to yourself.
NOTE: Any alteration (adding bulkheads, headache racks, tool boxes, etc.) behind the cab or
sleeper that affects the utilization of grab handles ,
deck plates, or frame access steps installed by
Peterbilt must comply with FMCSR 399.
The pictures on the next page show you the right way to
get on and off the area behind your cab.
