How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you

do this, it will help you learn about the features and

controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find

that pictures and words work together to explain

things quickly.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is.

Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the

hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or

others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Don’t,”

“Don’t do this” or “Don’t

let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this book you will find these notices:

NOTICE:

These mean there is something that could

damage your vehicle.

In the notice area, we tell you about something that can

damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would

not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.

But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid

the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see

CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or

in different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

For example,

these symbols

are used on an

Model Reference

This manual contains information which covers the

B7 Chassis models as shown. Most models are

unfinished from the factory.

Medium Duty Chassis

Since B7 Chassis models delivered from the factory

are finished in a variety of ways by a number of

companies, you’ll probably find other manuals in your

finished vehicle. These manuals are put there by the

companies that have added components or equipment

to the B7 Chassis model. Read all these materials -- as

well as this manual -- carefully, to get all of the

information on your vehicle.

CAUTION:

Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition

key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or

others could be badly injured or even killed.

They could operate controls or even make the

vehicle move. Don’t leave the keys in a vehicle

with children.

The square-head key is for

the ignition only.

When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealership removes

the plugs from the keys, and gives them to the first owner.

Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a

qualified locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep the

plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you’ll be

able to have new ones made easily using these plugs.

The body manufacturer may provide additional keys for

locks to entry and access doors, and any other locking

compartments on the vehicle. These additional keys may

not have plugs with key codes.

Theft

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities, and

even commercial vehicles are no exception. Although your

vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know

that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal.

However, there are ways you can help.

Key in the Ignition

If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an

easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so

don’t do it.

Remember to remove your key and take it with you.

Always do this. When you take your key with you, your

ignition will be locked. Also remember to lock the doors.

1-3

New Vehicle “Break-In”

NOTICE:

Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate

“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long

run if you follow these guidelines:

Let your engine warm up before you

operate your vehicle under load.

Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or

less for the first 500 miles (805 km).

Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or

slow -- for the first 500 miles (805 km).

Don’t make full-throttle starts.

NOTICE: (Continued)

Avoid making hard stops for the first

200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time

your new brake linings aren’t yet broken

in. Hard stops with new linings can mean

premature wear and earlier replacement.

Follow this breaking-in guideline every

time you get new brake linings.

Don’t tow a trailer during break-in.

Use the lowest gear you can when you start

a loaded vehicle in motion and when going

up hills to avoid overloading the engine.

Check and adjust engine and transmission

fluid levels often and be sure tires

are properly inflated for the load

you’re carrying.

diesel engine, see

Diesel Engine Operation

& Maintenance Manual.
