Hazard Warning Lights
The hazard warning light switch is located on the
dash in what is referred to as the master module.
See
Fig. 26.1 . The hazard lights can be activated
regardless of the ignition switch position.
To activate the hazard lights, push the center of the
switch once. The switch will blink at the same rate
that the hazard lights flash. Push the switch again to
turn them off. All the turn signal lights on the vehicle
and trailer, as well as the turn signal indicators in the
ICU, flash simultaneously when the hazard lights are
activated.
Fire Extinguisher
An optional factory-installed fire extinguisher may be
located in the cab, usually by the driver’s door, or in
the sleeper baggage compartment.
Emergency Equipment
Emergency equipment and tools may be supplied in
the cab or sleeper baggage compartment. The equip-
ment may include: a first aid kit, triangular reflectors,
flares, tire-changing equipment, and tools.
WARNING
Use extreme care when placing flares in emer-
gency situations that involve exposure to flam-
mable substances such as fuel. An explosion or
fire could occur causing serious personal injury.
If there is an emergency while driving, cautiously pull
off the road. Turn on the hazard warning lights. Place
the flares and reflector along the side of the road to
alert other drivers that an emergency situation exists.
Emergency Starting With
Jumper Cables
When using jumper cables, follow the instructions
below.
WARNING
Batteries release explosive gas. Do not smoke
when working around batteries. Put out all flames
and remove all sources of sparks or intense heat
in the vicinity of the battery. Do not allow the ve-
hicles to touch each other. Do not lean over the
batteries when making connections, and keep all
other persons away from the batteries. Failure to
follow these precautions could lead to severe
personal injury as a result of an explosion or
acid burns.
NOTICE
Make sure both electrical systems are the same
voltage. Electronic devices on both vehicles can
be damaged when connected to a vehicle with a
different operating voltage.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with optional un-
derhood jump start posts, connect to these
posts instead of the batteries.
1. Apply the parking brakes and turn off the lights
and all other electrical devices.
2. Remove the battery box cover.
NOTE: The battery box on a New Cascadia may
be located in a variety of locations, including
under the passenger seat, behind the side fair-
ing, or behind the cab. If the battery box is lo-
cated behind the side fairing, it can be accessed
by opening the side fairing kick panel.
3. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive battery post or jump start post on the
vehicle needing the jump start. See callout A in
Fig. 26.2 .
4. Then connect the other end of the positive
jumper cable to the positive battery or jump start
post of the vehicle providing the jump start.
