EMERGENCY EXIT - WIDE CAB
If the door becomes unusable, the alternate way is to
break the side window with the escape tool and exit
through the opening.
Using the Emergency Exit with the Escape
Tool
If the cab door cannot be opened, exit the cab by
breaking the side window :
NOTE : The windshield (front glass) is laminated and
holds together even when shattered. The escape tool
is not designed to be used on this glass surface.

Use the escape tool to break the glass:
» Look for the bright orange handle. It is located on
the vertical post between the right side windows
inside the cab.
» Pick up the tool from its support bracket and hold
the tool by the handle, with the hammer head point-
ing up.
» Shield eyes (or wear safety glasses) and face and
smash the window by swinging the tool overhand,
like a household hammer. One or two strikes
should shatter the glass. Any of the two heads of
the hammer can be used for this purpose.
» Using the surface between the two heads of the
tool, scrape the remaining glass from the window
edges.
» If not already done, unbuckle the seat belt.
» Exit the cab through the opening.
NOTE : Unbuckling the driver’s seat belt will bring the
vehicle to a complete stop but opening the door alone
will not.
