Roadside Assistance
Call toll-free to talk to someone at the
PACCAR Customer Center.
1-800-4Peterbilt (800-473-8372)
The Customer Call Center is open
24-7-365 days a year and staffed with
trained personnel (English and other
languages if necessary), free of charge, to
provide total roadside assistance. Their
custom mapping system can locate the
nearest Authorized dealers and
Independent Service Providers (ISPs)
based on the vehicle's location. In addition,
the customer center can dispatch services
for jump and pull starts, tires, trailers, fines
and permits, chains, towing, hazardous
clean-up, out of fuel (roadside), mechanical
repairs and preventive maintenance
services. If they can’t answer a specific
question, they will direct you to a
representative who can.
Low Air Alarm
These are actions that the operator should
perform if the low air alarm on the
dashboard instrument cluster turns on.
If this alarm turns on while parked or
driving, be sure to perform these tasks:
WARNING!
If the air pressure falls below 60 psi (414
kPa) the spring brakes may stop the vehicle
abruptly, which could cause an accident re-
sulting in personal injury or death. Observe
the red warning lamps on the gauges. If one
comes on, do not continue to drive the vehi-
cle until it has been properly repaired or
serviced.
1. Slow down carefully.
2. Move a safe distance off the road
and stop.
3. Place the transmission in neutral
(park with automatic transmissions,
if equipped) and set the parking
brake.
4. Turn OFF the engine.
5. Turn ON the emergency flasher and
use other warning devices to alert
other motorists.
If the light and alarm do not turn off at
startup, do not try to drive the vehicle until
the problem is found and fixed.
