Notes for persons with electronic

medical aids

Daimler Truck AG cannot, despite careful

development, completely rule out the interac-

tion of vehicle systems with electronic medical

aids such as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components installed in

the vehicle that, regardless of the operating

status of the vehicle, can generate magnetic

fields on a par with permanent magnets. These

fields can, for example, be found in the area of

the multimedia or sound system or also in the

area of the seats, depending on the vehicle

equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in iso-

lated cases, depending on the medical aids

used:

medical aids malfunctioning

adverse health effects

Observe the notes and warnings of the manu-

facturer of the medical aids; if in doubt, con-

tact the device manufacturer and/or your doc-

tor. Daimler Truck AG recommends using only

few electrical vehicle systems and/or main-

taining an appropriate distance from the com-

ponents if there is continuing uncertainty con-

cerning the possibility of medical aids malfunc-

tioning.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in

the area of the following components carried

out by a qualified specialist workshop:

vehicle components carrying live voltage

transmission aerials

multimedia system and sound system

Please contact a qualified specialist workshop

if you have any questions or suggestions.

Operating safety and vehicle regis-

Notes on driving

The vehicle may be damaged in the following

cases:

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high

kerb or an unpaved road.

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a

kerb, a speed bump or a pothole in the road.

a heavy object strikes the underbody or

chassis components.

In such situations, the body, frame, under-

body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be

damaged without the damage being visible.

Components damaged in this way can unex-

pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no

longer withstand the strain they are designed

for.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-

bustible materials such as leaves, grass or

twigs can gather between the underbody and

the underbody panelling. If these materials

come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust

system for an extended period, they can catch

fire.

WARNING

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system. There
is a risk of fire.
When driving on an unpaved road or off-
road, check the vehicle underside regularly.
In particular, remove trapped plant parts or
other flammable material. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop immediately if dam-
age is detected.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired imme-

diately at a qualified specialist workshop. If, on

continuing your journey, you notice that driv-

ing safety is impaired, pull over and stop the

vehicle immediately, paying attention to road

and traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a

qualified specialist workshop.
