Regional Haul Model Operator's Manual - Peterbilt Motors Company

CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
See “Brake Safety and Emergency” on page 112 for more
complete information on when and how to use your trailer
brake. Or see the Index, under Brake
NOTE: The trailer brake is not to be used as the
main means of braking. To use this brake frequently
instead of using the foot brake will wear
out the trailer brake sooner.
WARNING! Always apply the parking brakes
for parking or holding your vehicle on grade. It
is dangerous to use air-applied trailer brakes
for parking or holding a vehicle. Air system
pressure can bleed down and release the
brakes. You could have a vehicle roll-away
causing an accident resulting in death or personal
injury.
Tilt- Telescoping Steering Column
Depending on your vehicle’s configuration, you may have
either a Tilt or a Tilt/Telescoping steering column.
OPTIONAL GAUGES
• The tilt feature allows forward and rearward movement
of the wheel.
• The telescoping feature allows you to move the wheel
up and down.
To activate these features, locate the Tilt/Telescoping
handle on the left side of the steering column.
To adjust the steering wheel, PULL and HOLD the handle.
Push or pull the wheel to the desired height and angle,
then RELEASE the handle to lock the wheel at the correct
position.
WARNING! Make all adjustments to the steering
mechanism while the vehicle is stopped.
Adjusting the Tilt-Telescoping Steering Wheel
while the vehicle is in motion could cause
loss of control. You wouldn’t be able to steer
properly and could have an accident resulting
in death or personal injury.
