Vehicle Storage Instructions
When a vehicle is not used for an extended period of time,
precautions must be taken to prevent deterioration of vehicle
components.Vehicles that are out of service for extended
periods of time can experience corrosion and other undesirable
effects. Drive vehicle monthly to exercise the brakes, driveline
and steering. Run the vehicle long enough for the engine to
reach operating temperature.
NOTE: Losses oc curring to a unit while it is in storage will not be
considered for warranty reimbursement.
Storage Duration - One Month or Less
1. Wash vehicles as necessary. Always wash vehicles that
have been exposed to road salt.
23879634R1
Page 15
Foreword
NOTE: Washing Instruc tions- Wash the vehicle with war m water
and mild soap, then wipe wet surfaces with a chamois or soft
cloth. DO NOT use hot water or strong soaps or detergents. DO
NOT wash the vehicle in direct sun, or when the sheet metal is
hot to the touch. This will streak the finish. DO NOT wipe dirt off
dry surfaces, as this will scratch the finish.
NOTE: When vehicles are stored outside, particularly in coastal
areas (salt water and high humidity atmosphere) or other
areas of corrosive environment, paint and bright metal may
require frequent washing and waxing to prevent deterioration.
Determining washing frequency is the customers responsibility.
NOTE: For veh icles exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun, apply
a coating of Bon-Ami® soap, or similar product, to the inside
surfaces of the windshield and windows, to shade the interior
and prevent fading of the interior trim.
2. Inspectpaintedsurfaces; touch up all exposed primedorraw
metal areas to prevent rust.
3. a thick coat of wax to prevent discoloration from the
elements; wax all chrome and stainless steel metal parts.
4. Check the radiator coolant for proper level and adequate
freeze protection [-20°F (-29°C) is standard for medium duty
modelsand bus chassis, -40°F (-40°C)is standard for heavy
duty models].
5. Cover open ends of vertical exhaust s tack(s).
8. Check state of charge eye in batteries and re-charge if
open circuit voltage is below 12.6 volts. Disconnect battery
ground cables to prevent accidental starting, or parasitic
electrical loads from discharging the battery.
Storage Duration - Over One Month
Unitsin storage longer than one month should be driven until the
engine reaches operating temperature:
1. Insure all tires are inflated properly, remove vertical exhaust
stack covers and reconnect batteries.
2. Check all vehicle fluid levels and fill as required.
3. Startandrunthevehicleat fast idle, until it reaches operating
temperature. To remove surface charge from the battery,
built up from previous start-ups and short idle periods,
operate the heater and/or air conditioner, headlights and
other accessories for several minutes.
4. Turn off heater and/or air conditioner and any other
accessories; shut off the headlights. Park the vehicle and
shut off the engine.
5. Perform the procedure for Storage Duration - One Month
or Less, if returning the vehicle to storage.

Foreword
Storage Facilities
A. Whenever possible, store vehicles indoors, protected
from sunlight, in a dry, well ventilated area. If indoor
storage is not available, select storage lots to eliminate
conditions that cause deterioration.
B. Park away from transformers and/or electrical motors,
because when the protective wax in tire compound
cracks, ozone in the air attacks the exposed areas.
C. Park away from trees, high weeds and/or grass to
prevent damage from tree or weed sap, and to minimize
bird and insect stains.
D. Park away from railroad tracks, paint shops, smoky
industrial areas, and locations of possible road splash
contact.
E. If a vehicle is parked on an incline, block the wheels.

Customer Security Guide for International Trucks
This guide has been prepared to help you protect your vehicle
investment fro m theft. We realize the financial commitment you
have made is significant, and that you depend on that vehicle
to generate profits and a livelihood. Vehicle theft can be more
than an economic crime.Protecting your vehicle from theft
or hijacking can be crucial to the safety and security of the
country and economy. While no system or device is 100 percent
effective, our intention is to provide some tips that you or your
drivers can use to reduce the risk of theft.
If you suspect vehicle theft activity, take a minute to tell the
National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) at 1-800-TEL-NICB.
You can make the free call anonymously, and you might
be eligible for a reward.To learn more about vehicle theft
and how you can protect yourself, visit the NICB’s Web site,
www.nicb.org.
Add Layers of Protection
Four layers of protection are recommended for your vehicle - the
more layers of protection on your vehicle, the more difficult it is
to steal.
Layer 1: Common Sense
•Lock your doors.
•Remove your keys from the ignition.
•Close your wind ows com ple tely.
•Park in well-lit areas.
•Drop a business card with yourname on it betweenthe glass
and doorframe. This can aid in identifyingthe truck when it’s
recovered.
•Keep a copy of the lineset ticket in a location other than your
truck for reporting purposes and a copy of the VIN in your
wallet.
•Photograph the interior and exterior of your truck from
various angles and keep these photographs in a safe
nontruck location or send them to your insurance agent.
•Report a theft as soon as it’s discovered to the local police
and to your insurance company.
•Postadriver has no cash sign on your door to discourage a
robbery.
•Permanently m ountyour CBradio o r remove it when you will
be away from your truck.
63879634R1
Page 19
Foreword
•Do not discuss where your vehicle is located when you are
not on the road.
•D o not share information about y our specific destination or
the load you are hauling.
•Be conscious of other vehicles that may be following you
over long distances - call the police.
•Be suspicious of motorists that are signaling you to stop or
pull over. Call the police, report the incident, and let the
police respond.
Layer 2: Visible or Audible Device
•Audible alarm system
•Steering wheel locks
•Steering column collars
•Theft deterrent decals
•Wheel locks
•Window etching
•Mechanical or electronic steering locks that restrict the
steering shaft U-joint are easy to use and provide a very
high level of affordable theft protection.
Layer 4: Tracking System
The final layer is a tracking system that emits a signal to the
police or a monitoring service when the vehicle is reported
stolen. If your vehicle has a tracking system and is stolen, it can
oftentimes be recovered faster and with less damage.
This vehicle may be equipped from the factory

switches that have custom labels applied. The presence of
these options as factory installed c an be verified from the
Line Set Ticket included with the vehicle. A truck equipment
manufacturer (TEM), however, may have installed some of
these options after production. In that case, they will not appear
on the Line Set Ticket.If installed by a TEM, you should
receive an operating guide and/or training for the specific
functions provided. Familiarize yourself with all of the switches
that control chassis, engine, and body equipment and seek
adequate training on the function of all features before operating

All new vehicles with an optional compass must have an initial
compass calibration performed. A compass calibration may or
may not have been completed at the vehicle assembly plant.
If the compass headings are noticeably incorrect, or become
noticeably incorrect, or the NO CAL message is displayed, the
Declination Zone may need to be reset to agree with the current
geographic location, or the Compass Directional Calibration will
need to be recalibrated.
The compass direction is displayed in the lower left quadrant
of the instrument panel gauge cluster display just below the
outdoor temperature reading.Text messages necessary to
calibrate the compass can be found in the instrument panel
gauge cluster display in the lower right quadrant (quadrant 2)
of the display. Twist the instrument panel gauge cluster display
knob until the cursor is flashing in the lower right quadrant.
Press the instrument panel gauge cluster display knob until
the desired text message is displayed. Compass Calibration
related text messages include “Calibrate Compass”, “Compass
Declination”, “Declinatio n Zone #”, and “End Calibration”.
NOTE: The Declination Zone for the location where the
Compass Calibration procedure is being performed must be
set first, and thereafter the Compass Directional Calibration
procedure can be performed. Both procedures are listed on the
following pages and must be followed exactly to ensure proper
calibration of the compass.
Compass Declination Zone Set Procedure
The Declination Zone number is used to account for the
errors betwee n magnetic North and tru e North in the vehicle’s
geographic operating area, and must be set correctly for the
compass to display accurate headings.
NOTE: When calibrating/recalibrating the compass, you must
selecttheDeclinationZonewhichcorrespondstothegeographic
location where the compass calibration is being performed. It
canberesetlatertomatchtheDeclinationzonewherethe

For vehicles that regularly operate coast-to-coast or in several
different Declination Zones, either choose a Declination Zone in
the geographic center of the vehicle’soperating area, or change
the Declination Zone daily to match the present Declination
Zone.
To begintheDeclinationZone set procedure, the vehiclemust be

the proper Declination Zone number.

is ordered;
•Cruise/Throttle - used when cruise control and either a hand
throttle or an engine speed control are ordered.
The right switch (SET/COAST - RESUME/ACCEL) actually sets
and controls the enginespeed. But if the left switch has not been
activated, nothing will happen when pushing on this right switch.
This switch has the same label in all applications.
Operational Procedures
The following steps will activate and enable each of the four
engine speed control features.
Cruise Control – operates like an automotive cruise control.
1. Press the ON position of the CRUISE/THROTTLE -
ON/OFF steering wheel control.
2. Bring the vehicle to the desired operating speed ( above
35 MPH), and then push the SET/CRUISE position of
the steering wheel control.
3. Once in the cruise mode the right side SET/CRUISE
– RESUME/ACCEL switch can be used to increase or
decrease vehicle speed by pressing and holding the
RESUME/ACCEL to increase or the SET/CRUISE to
decrease vehicle speed.
4. A slight tap on the brake or clutch pedal will deactivate
the cruise but holds the selected speed in memory. To
return to this speed, just press RESUME/ACCEL.
5.WhenyoupresstheOFF(left)positionofthe
CRUISE/THROTTLE - ON/OFF switch, or if the vehicle
is shut off, the selected speed setting is canceled.
Throttle
This feature is ordered to provide variable engine speed control
primarily for operation of PTO powered equipment. It uses the
same Cruise controls as described below.
1. Press the CRUISE/THROTTLE - ON/OFF steering
wheel control to ON.
2. Press SET/CRUISE on the steering wheel control.
3. Press and hold RESUME/ACCEL to increase engine
speed until the desired engine speed is obtained. Or,
youcan re peatedlypress and release RESUME/ACCEL
to increase the speed in small increments.

4. To change from this initial setting, use the appropriate
control to raise or lower the engine speed as you would
in the cruise control mode.SET/CRUISE reduces
engine speed and RESUME/ACCEL increases engine
speed.
5. Press the OFF position of the ON/OFF control to turn
the throttle off and return the engine to idle.
Stationary Variable Speed Control (12VXT)
This feature is ordered to provide variable engine speed c ontrol
primarily for operation of PTO powered equipment. It operates
the same as the Cruise/ Throttle controls discussed above.
Stationary Pre-Set Speed Control (12VXU)
1. To activate this feature, press the ON position on the left
side CRUISE/THROTTLE - ON/OFF switch.
2. When ordered, this feature can provide two different
predetermined speeds, which are selected with the
SET/CRUISE or RESUME/ACCEL positions. You need
toknow which positionto use for your specific operation.
Press the right side SET/CRUISE or RESUME/ACCEL
switch for the desired pre-set speed.
3. First, press the switch that selects one of the desired
speeds.
4. To select the other speed, press the other switch. The
engine will immediately return to idle.
5. Youmustpushtheswitchasecondtimetogotothe
second speed. This is done to protect equipment from
being inadvertently operated at the wrong speed.
Mobile Variable Speed Control (12VXV)
Operates the same as cruise control, except the engine speed is
accurately controlled instead of vehicle speed. The truck could
be operated in one of several gears but the truck is limited to
a maximum of 20 MPH, or any pre-set lower speed down to 3
MPH.

Steering Column and Switches
The steering column contains switches and levers to aid in the
comfort of the operator and to assist the operator while driving
the vehicle.
1. Washer/Wiper Control - The windshield washer, along with
the windshield wipers, is controlled by the WASHER/WIPER
knob on the turn signal switch lever. To operate the windshield
washer, push in on the wiper knob to spray solution on the
windshield. Wipers will start wiping and continue for two cycles.
2. SignalingForA Turn- Whensignalingyourintentiontomake
a turn, move the turn signal lever up or down to the “full turn”
position which is past the point of resistance. On some models
the switch will automa ticallycancel if the steering whee l is turned
a large enough degree. On other models the switch does not
automatically cancel and will require manual cancellation.
Lane Change – The turn signal lever includes a “lane change”
feature which allows the operator to signal the intention to
change lanes without locking the switch into the full turn
position. To use this feature, move turn signal lever up or down
to the point where resistance to movement is felt. The turn
signal lever will return to the OFF position when released.
3.Windshield Wiper - The electric wiper has two speeds
(hi-low),whichcanbeoperatedbyrotatingtheWASHER/WIPER
knob.The optional intermittent control provides five wiper
ON/OFF cycle intervals, varying from 2 to 14 seconds. This is
done by rotating the w iper control from the wiper OFF position
to the any of the five intermittent wiper interval positions.
Automatic Intermittent Interval Control (Optional) –This
feature automatically changes the wiper speed from HIGH or
LOW to the slowest intermittent speed when the parking brake
has been set, and the wipers have been on for a predetermined
length of time. When the parking brake is released, the wipers
return to their previous speed.
Multi-function Switch - The multi-function turn signal switch
is mounted on the left side of the steering column below the
steering wheel.

WARNING
Do not use the washers in freezing weather
without first warming the windshield with the
defrosters; otherwise, the washer solution may
freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision
and cause an accident which could result in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not use radiator coolant or anti-freeze in the
windshield washer reservoir.Radiator coolant
in the washer reservoir can severely reduce
visibility when sprayed on the windshield.
Keep the fluid reservoir filled with Fleetrite® Windshield Washer
Solvent or equivalent.
4. Low/High Beam - When the turn signal stalk is pulled past
the “click” position, lights will switch to Hi-Beam position. When
pulled again they will revert to Lo-Beam .
Headlight Flash-To-Pass - When the turn signal lever is pulled
withtheheadlightsOFF,theHi-Beamlightswillcomeonandstay
on as long as the lever is held in the pulled position. When the
