Ready to Move Telltale
WARNING!
Pull over if the digital Stop Lamp is
present. Continuing to discharge the
battery pack after the Stop Lamp is
present could permanently damage the
battery pack and stop the truck
unexpectedly.
WARNING!
Turn the retarder switch to the OFF
position during low traction road
conditions (e.g. ice, rain, gravel, etc.).
Failure to turn OFF the retarder could
result in uncontrolled skidding.
WARNING!
Vehicle noise may be reduced in some
operation modes. The vehicle operator
must remain aware of nearby vehicles or
pedestrians at all times. Failure to
comply may result in death, injury, or
property damage.
NOTE
Stay within the green region of the
power output gauge to maximize truck
range.
NOTE
Closely monitor the cluster telltales for
derate information (physical telltales)
and instructions to pull over (digital Stop
Sign telltale). Failure to monitor the
telltales could result in permanent
damage to the truck powertrain.
WARNING!
Do not assume the truck is OFF when it
is silent. Check if the Ready to Move
telltale is illuminated. Failure to heed
this warning could result in injury or
death to yourself and bystanders.
