GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating the Vehicle
Never try to operate or work on this vehicle while
under the influence of alcohol. Your reflexes can
be affected by the smallest amount of alcohol.
Drinking and operating this vehicle can lead to an
accident, causing serious personal injury or death.
All items within the cab must be secured before
the vehicle is set in motion. This includes, but is
not limited to, drinks, clothes, books, televisions,
etc. In the event of a collision, loose items could
fly around inside the cab. This could cause
personal injury.
Every vehicle, including heavy duty vehicles, have blind spots. The size
of blind spots vary from driver to driver and from situation to situation.
As a skilled, professional driver, you are in the best position to avoid
accidents in turns, lane changes or other maneuvers. Volvo Trucks
North America provides standard equipment (such as cabs,
windshields, window sizes and mirrors), preferred by most owners and
drivers under most conditions and in most applications.
However, due to differences in the size of drivers, their seating
positions, the use and operation of their vehicles, personal preferences
and other factors, no combination of mirrors and other visibility
enhancement devices can eliminate all blind spots in every situation.
