WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Air clean warning (if equipped)
Illuminates when the ignition is
turned to the ON position and the
engine is off. The light also
illuminates when the air system is
restricted (dirty, clogged).
Brake reserve system warning (if equipped)
Illuminates to indicate normal
Hydromax booster reserve system
activation when the engine is OFF
and the service brake pedal is
applied, or when the ignition is in
the ON or START position.
This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and
the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking.
If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates
inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

GAUGES
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or after
refueling. The ignition should be in
the OFF position while the vehicle is
being refueled. When the gauge first
indicates empty, there is a small
amount of reserve fuel in the tank.
When refueling the vehicle from an empty indication, the amount of fuel
that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the ªHº and ªCº). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer toEngine
coolantin theMaintenance and
carechapter.

trailer lamps.
Press the control to deactivate the
trailer lamps.
Heated Mirrors Ð F650 SuperCrewzer only
Press this control to remove ice,
mist and fog from the mirrors. This
feature will automatically turn off
after 10 minutes.
Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is
frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and
mirrors.

2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to lock mirrors in place.
HEATED TELESCOPING TRAILER TOW MIRRORS
Manually pull the mirror outward or
inward as desired. Pull the mirrors
inward carefully when driving
through a narrow space.
MIRRORS
With the doors closed and the seat
adjusted for proper comfort, move
the mirrors to maximize rear
viewing area by adjusting the
western mirrors left or right as
required.
Adjust the auxiliary convex mirrors.
Convex mirrors are a ball-stud
design for precise adjustment to
maximize viewing area.

Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Unexpected and possibly sudden vehicle movement may occur if
these precautions are not taken.
Impact wrenches should not be used as they may damage the piston and
prevent proper caging of the spring. Do not apply more than 68 Nm
(50 lb-ft) torque to the release bolt nut.
1. Remove the stud tool and nut
from the carrying pocket on the
brake chamber assembly.
2. Remove the access plug from the
end of the spring chamber.
3. Insert the release stud through
the opening in the chamber and into
the spring pressure plate.
4. Turn the release stud one-quarter
turn to engage the stud tangs with
the slot in the pressure plate. Keep
the stud engaged and install the nut
on the release stud.
5. Tighten the nut until the spring is
fully caged and the brakes are
released. Do not loosen or remove
the release stud and nut unless the brake chamber is completely
assembled and is securely clamped.
6. When the air pressure is restored, unscrew and remove the release
stud and install in the carrying pocket. Install the access plug.
Trailer brake (if equipped)
During normal operation, the trailer brakes operate whenever the tractor
brakes are applied. A manual control lever is provided so the trailer
brakes can be applied separately, if required. To apply the trailer brakes,
pull the trailer brake control downward to the APPLIED position.

Do not use the trailer brake manual control lever for parking.
Trailer air supply control (MV-3) (Tractor package)
The MV-3 control module is a two-button, push-pull control valve housed
in a single body which includes a dual circuit supply valve and a check
valve.
Operation
During initial charge, with the system completely discharged, both
buttons are out.
When system pressure reaches
448 kPa (65 psi), the red control
(trailer supply) may be pushed in
and should stay in, charging the
trailer system and releasing the
trailer brakes.
The yellow control (parking brake)
may now be pushed in, which will
supply air to the tractor spring
brakes, releasing them.
Normal operating position
With both controls pushed in, air is supplied to the trailer and to the
tractor spring brakes; all brakes are released.

Actuation of trailer parking or emergency brakes
To actuate the trailer brakes only,
pull out the red control (trailer air
supply), exhausting the trailer
supply line. The trailer brakes are
now applied either by air emergency
or spring brakes, depending on the
type of trailer system. This mode
would be used to uncouple from the
trailer during bob-tail operation.
System park
With both controls in for normal run modes, the parking brakes on both
tractor and trailer may be actuated by pulling the yellow control (parking
brake) out, which exhausts the air from the tractor spring brakes and
simultaneously causes the red control (trailer supply) to pop out,
applying the trailer brakes. This complies with federal regulations stating
one control must apply all the parking brakes on the vehicle.
Trailer charge
If both controls are out when parking the combination vehicle and it is
desired to recharge the trailer (leaving the tractor spring brakes
applied), the trailer air supply control may be pushed in, repressurizing
the trailer supply line. This mode could also be used to park a
combination vehicle with air actuated emergency brakes on the trailer to
provide demonstrated parking capability with tractor spring brakes only.
Automatic application
With both controls in (in the normal run configuration), if the supply
pressure to the push-pull valves is reduced to approximately 240 to 310 kPa
(35-45 psi), the red control (trailer supply valve) must pop out, applying the
emergency or parking brakes on the trailer. If the red control is held in
manually and the pressure decreases to approximately 172 to 240 kPa
(25-35 psi), a tripper piston within the MV-3 valve will move upward. This
will exhaust the trailer supply, causing the required non-override feature.
The yellow control (parking brake) will pop out at approximately 138 to
207 kPa (20-30 psi).
