DRIVING - Starting and Operating Starting and Operating Since each vehicle is custom-equipped, all engine operation instructions in this manual are general. You will want to consult the manual for your engine to find out details about your specific engine’s needs. You may need to use a slightly different procedure from the one outlined here. Starting and Warming Up How to Start Vehicle in Normal Weather NOTE Some starters are equipped with overcrank protection.
DRIVING - Starting and Warming Up to turn the ignition on. If the engine is not started within the 6 minute timeframe, the operator will have to re-enter the passcode to start the engine. Tips to Remember When Starting Vehicle in Cold Weather 4 In cold weather, fast engine starting helps relieve the loads on the electrical system and cranking motor. Using the special cold starting equipment will help starting.
DRIVING - Starting and Warming Up 1. 2. After you’ve started your engine, idle it at approximately 600 rpm while you check: a. oil pressure b. air pressure c. alternator output After a few minutes of idling at 600 rpm, increase your idle speed to 900 or 1,000 rpm. Continue your warm-up. This procedure allows oil to warm and flow freely while pistons, liners, shafts, and bearings expand slowly and evenly. In extremely cold temperatures, you may have to increase idle speed.
DRIVING - Starting and Warming Up WARNING To reduce the chance of personal injury, vehicle damage and/or death from overheated engines, which can result in a fire, never leave the engine idling without an alert driver present. If the engine should overheat, as indicated by the engine coolant temperature light, immediate action is required to correct the condition. Continued unattended operation of the engine, even for a short time, may result in serious engine damage or a fire.
DRIVING - Engine Operations b. Put the auxiliary transmission in Neutral. This will allow the transmission countershaft to turn, agitating the oil and warming it. Engine Operations Stationary Power Take Off Operation The cruise control buttons for this vehicle may be used to control the engine rpm when the vehicle is stationary and the operator wants to use the Power Take Off (PTO) on the engine.
DRIVING - Engine Operations radiator to increase cab heater temperature in cold climates. CAUTION The use of a winterfront can result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge air (intake) temperatures, which can lead to overheating and possible engine damage. 4 CAUTION A winterfront should only be used at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Use of a winterfront above 40°F (4°C) can decrease life of cooling module components. Remove winterfront as soon as the ambient temp reaches 41°F (5°C).
DRIVING - Engine Operations Moving the lever clockwise will engage the engine brake. Increase the amount of engine brake by moving the lever further clockwise. Each position has a corresponding level of engine brake.

DRIVING - Engine Operations will remain disabled until the fault is corrected. Additional Features Vehicles with optional lane departure warning will have the ability to highlight the left and right side of the 'lane' in the display area.
DRIVING - Engine Operations PCC Behavior 4 As the vehicle approaches the top of a hill, PCC will decrease the vehicle speed to avoid overshooting the set-speed, in order to avoid unnecessary acceleration on the downward slope. This will result in a smoother, more fuel efficient ride to the top. Once over the crest, momentum takes over and the system will allow a predetermined amount of speed over the set-speed.
DRIVING - Transmission • Transmission Transmission Tips General information on operating the transmission. Riding the Clutch The clutch is not a footrest. Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. It will allow your clutch to slip, causing excessive heat and wear, damage could result. Release Bearing Wear When you must idle your engine for any period of time, shift your transmission to neutral and disengage the clutch (take your foot OFF of the pedal).
DRIVING - Transmission 5. 4 Release the clutch pedal (manual only), then gradually accelerate to permit smooth starting. 6. Do not allow your vehicle to roll (even a little) in the opposite direction during clutch engagement. If you need to start up on an incline, apply your service brakes before you release the parking brake. Then release your service brakes as you engage the clutch and apply throttle.
DRIVING - Transmission approximately 5 1/2 in (139.7 mm) of total pedal travel. Depress the clutch pedal another 1/2 in (13 mm) to engage the clutch brake. • The clutch brake is used for stopping transmission gears, allowing you to easily shift into first gear or reverse without grinding gears. The clutch brake is not necessary when shifting into other gears while in motion.
DRIVING - Transmission Hill Hold WARNING If your vehicle has an automated transmission, be aware that it can roll backwards when stopped on a hill or grade, or when starting from a stop on a hill or grade. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage. Observe the following guidelines: (1) When stopped on a hill or grade, press the brake pedal.
DRIVING - Transmission For Peterbilt Vehicles 5. 6. 7. Re-initiate MAX mode, see Engine Brake Operation for a Vehicle with Automated Transmission on page 135. Select Neutral N, see Drive Neutral Reverse Selector on page 146. Select LOW mode, see Engine Brake Operation for a Vehicle with Automated Transmission on page 135. Pushing the lever forward will down shift. Pushing and holding the lever forward will engage the LOW gear range. Pulling the lever towards the driver will upshift the transmission.
DRIVING - Brakes The instument cluster will illuminate with the corresponding gear. Transmission mode is selected by rotating the lever's outer knob. There is a detent for Drive, Neutral, Reverse. The instrument cluster will display the corresponding mode. For Peterbilt Vehicles If you have an auxiliary transmission, see your transmission manufacturer’s manual for its proper operation.
DRIVING - Brakes Compressed air is delivered to the brake system through the valve at the brake pedal and is controlled with various valves and braking circuits. The brake system is designed with separate front, rear and (when applicable) trailer circuits so that if one circuit is compromised and loses air, the other circuits will not be affected. Safety valves in each circuit will protect the other circuits in the event that a circuit loses air.
DRIVING - Brakes Engage Trailer Hand Brakes 4 the ATC can cause overheating of the drive wheel brakes. Engine torque or vehicle speed should be reduced to eliminate wheel spin and prevent excessive application of the ATC system. Except for checking for proper illumination of the ABS and traction control warning lamps when first starting the vehicle, and for monitoring these lamps while driving, no special operating procedures are required.
DRIVING - Brakes WARNING Do not rely on an anti-lock brake system that is functioning improperly. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in a severe accident, causing death or personal injury. If your ABS lamp goes on while you are driving or stays on after the self-check, your antilock system might not be working. The ABS may not function in an emergency. You will still have conventional brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the lamp indicates a problem, have the ABS checked.
DRIVING - Brakes ABS system, which may affect its operation. CAUTION 4 The center pin of the 7-way trailer light line may be constantly powered for ABS. Make sure it will not accidently turn on trailer equipment.
DRIVING - Brakes brake pressure at all wheel ends to slow the vehicle combination. The level of braking application during an RSP event will be proportional to roll risk. RSP Example A Real World Example of How the RSP System Operates Excessive speed for road conditions creates forces that exceed the threshold at which a vehicle is likely to rollover on a higher-friction surface.
DRIVING - Brakes selectively applies brakes to reduce the vehicle speed, thereby reducing the tendency to jackknife. Yaw Control Example 4 Automatic Traction Control Your truck/tractor ABS has an automatic traction control (ATC) feature. This feature is controlled by a switch. This feature is monitored by a warning lamp located on the switch. The Traction Control warning lamp will briefly illuminate and then go out when the ignition switch is first turned on.
DRIVING - Brakes • • • • Changes the ABS control limits to allow for a more aggressive ABS function while off-road. Improves vehicle control and helps reduce stopping distances in offroad conditions or on poor traction surfaces such as loose gravel, sand, and dirt. Allows retarders to function independently of the ABS function. If your vehicle does not have an engine retarder, the Off- Road ABS switch will function the same.
DRIVING - Brakes 4 live animals or partially laden tankers). • The vehicle has an unusually high or off-set center of gravity (CG). • One side of the vehicle drops off the pavement at an angle that is too large to be counteracted by a reduction in speed. • The vehicle is used to haul double or triple trailer combinations. • If very rapidly winding steering inputs are inputted at high speeds. • There are mechanical problems with suspension leveling of the tractor or trailer resulting in uneven loads.
DRIVING - Brakes WARNING If the Steering Angle Sensor is not recalibrated, the Yaw Control system will not function properly. A uncalibrated sensor could result in a loss of control of your vehicle which can lead to an accident involving death or personal injury. WARNING Do not use any of the vehicle’s retarders in any situation that requires an immediate stop and/or in situations of poor traction (such as wet, icy or snow covered roads).
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension Related concepts WARNING Using an engine retarder can cause a wheel lockup. The trailer is not loading the tires enough to give the traction you may need. When you are bobtail or unloaded, you can have a serious accident if your wheels lock suddenly during braking. You could be killed or injured. Don’t use your retarder when you are driving bobtail or with an unloaded trailer. 4 WARNING Do not rely on your automatic transmission hydraulic retarder to stop your vehicle.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension under heavy loads or rough terrain as well as for over the road hauling. • The Low Range provides maximum torque for hauling heavy loads or traveling over rough terrain. The High Range is a faster ratio for highway speeds and general over the road conditions. A switch on the accessory switch panel controls the Dual Range Rear Axle. You will notice that the switch has a guard to protect you from activating it accidentally.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension terrain and preparing to drive on an improved surface. 4 When you go from rough terrain to highway driving, shift the axle to the HIGH range following this procedure: 1. Be sure the differential is UNLOCKED. 2. Maintain your vehicle speed (accelerator depressed) and move the Range Selector lever to HIGH. 3. Keep driving with the accelerator depressed until you want the axle to shift. 4. To make the axle shift, release the accelerator until the axle shifts.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension and the axle is in its up position. Axle creep ratings are assigned by the axle manufacturer and are based on axle model and intended service of the vehicle. Contact an authorized dealership if you are unable to identify the axle creep rating of this vehicle.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension exceeds the gross axle weight rating of the axles. Operator's using vehicles equipped with liftable auxiliary axles must consider creep ratings when any liftable axle is unloaded or in the raised position. Liftable auxiliary axles should only be raised (or unloaded) to improve maneuverability in an off-road use or when vehicle is unloaded.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension weight limits and obtain the proper load distribution. Perform this procedure at or near a weight scale. Procedure can be performed while parked on the weight scale if scale is available. To obtain the desired axle load distribution, you must correlate the suspension air gauge pressure to the actual axle load by scaling the axle weight(s) and adjusting the pressure to obtain the desired load.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension joint working angles. This can result in premature driveline wear and driveline vibration. If it becomes necessary to reset the ride height, you may temporarily set it by following the next procedure. Proper ride height measurement and values are shown in the illustration and table below.

The DPA is programmed to provide operational feedback and suggestions that will improve overall fuel consumption (and subsequently, a better score).
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle WARNING Be sure the latch that holds the upper bunk in the folded position is working properly so the bunk will not fall down. If the bunk falls, you could be injured. WARNING Any loose items on the upper or lower bunk should be moved to a secured place before driving the vehicle. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage. WARNING Be sure no one ever rides in the upper bunk.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle serious engine damage that may result from uneven cooling. Turbocharger 4 This cooling-down practice is especially important on a turbocharged engine. The turbocharger contains bearings and seals that are subjected to hot exhaust gases. While the engine is operating, heat is carried away by circulating oil. If you stop the engine suddenly, the temperature of the turbocharger could rise as much as 100°F (55°C) above the temperature reached during operation.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle WARNING Using the trailer hand brake or air brakes to hold a parked vehicle is dangerous. Because they work with air pressure, these brakes could come loose. Your vehicle could roll, causing an accident involving death or personal injury. Always set the parking brakes. Never rely on the trailer hand brake or truck air brakes to hold a parked vehicle. 4 4. 3. 1. Set the parking brake before leaving the driver’s seat.
