Foreword iii
CRITICAL EMISSION-RELATED MAINTENANCE
Source of parts and repair:
A repair shop or person of the owner’s choosing must maintain, replace, or repair emission control
devices and systems per manufacturer's recommendations.
Replacement of tires that are GHG certified:
The original equipment tires installed on this vehicle at the factory were certified to the U.S. EPA
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Fuel
Efficiency regulations. Replacement of these tires should
be with
a tire of equal or lower rolling
resistance levels (TRRL or Crr). Please consult your tire supplier(s) for appropriate replacement tires.
Maintaining a GHG certified tire:
In order to maintain the certified rolling resistance of the tires which optimize fuel economy, the
maintenance procedures provide by the tire manufacturer must be followed.
EVENT DATA RECORDING DEVICES
This PREVOST vehicle is equipped with a device generally referred to as an "event data recorder" or
"EDR." Please note that while the term "event data recorder" is typically used throughout the motor
vehicle industry, not every EDR is the same; i.e., they do not all record the same data elements.
The EDR on this PREVOST vehicle records vehicle speed, engine RPM, time and date, plus a variety of
pedal and switch positions, both before and after an "event." Sudden vehicle deceleration or the
occurrence of certain other vehicle operational characteristics will define (trigger) an "event."
For any questions about this vehicle EDR device, contact a PREVOST Service Center or a regional
service manager.
Foreword iii
TELEMATICS DEVICE
Your vehicle is equipped with one or more recording devices (“Telematics Device”), associated with
Prevost’s Connected Vehicle Services (the “Telematics Services”). These services, which are described
in greater detail at www.prevostcar.com (the “Website”), allow you to manage vehicle maintenance and
repair in a cost-effective manner by providing: proactive diagnostic and repair planning assistance with
detailed analysis of diagnostic trouble codes; streamlined service procedures with parts-on-hand
confirmation before a vehicle arrives for service; and live repair and customer communication. The
service eliminates or reduces diagnostics time, enhances repair efficiency, expedites decision process,
improves communications and maximizes uptime. To access the Telematics Services, you must enter
into a Telematics Subscription Agreement with Prevost, via the sales agreement pertaining to your
vehicle.
The Telematics Device collects stores and/or transmits information about your vehicle. Such information
may include direction and rate of speed, fuel consumption, engine performance, gearing, rpm, altitude,
geo-location (including a history of where the vehicle travels), safety information related to the use and
operation of the vehicle, vehicle performance, diagnostic data and error codes. The Telematics Device
has the capacity to store historical data about the use and performance of your vehicle. The Telematics
Device has the ability to transmit information to a central communications system. The information
contained in your Telematics Device may be periodically transmitted to or accessed by Prevost and
others authorized by Prevost, along with your vehicle’s VIN number or other identifying information.
Prevost does not collect any driver information. Prevost retains and uses this information to understand
the operational use of your vehicle, to remotely tune your vehicle, and to help facilitate maintenance and
vehicle improvements. To the extent allowed by law, Prevost reserves the right to access, use and control
this information.
Declining to enter into a Telematics Subscription Agreement with Prevost, or canceling a Telematics
Subscription Agreement, will not end the transmission of data from your Telematics Device or the
collection of information by Prevost. Prevost may access Telematics Data, to the extent it is available,
and use it in connection with providing services and vehicle improvements to you and your vehicle.
Prevost will regularly purge from its systems all data collected from your Telematics Device, at time
intervals determined by Prevost at its sole discretion.

Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and reliable operation, heed the
following safety precautions.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
o Operation and maintenance of the vehicle
must be performed only by qualified
personnel.
o Before driving, conduct a walk around
inspection and check that all baggage
compartment doors and equipment access
doors are securely shut.
o Make sure good visibility is maintained at all
times. Keep windshields clean and free of
obstructions.
o Adjust the driver's seat so that all controls
can be reached easily.
o Always wear the safety belt when driving.
o Check the instrument panel frequently. Do
not operate the vehicle when dials or
indicators are not in their normal operating
condition.
o Always pay attention to pedestrians passing
in front and behind the vehicle. Always yield
to pedestrians at pedestrian walkways.
o Do not drive over obstacles on the road.
Empty boxes, piles of leaves, and snowdrifts
could conceal hidden dangers that could
damage the vehicle suspension and
underbody.
o When turning or changing lanes, signal your
intention well in advance.
o When approaching to make a right turn,
reduce the space between the vehicle and
the curb to make sure another vehicle
cannot pass on the right. Since the vehicle
makes wide turns, allow enough space to
make safe turns.
o Switch from high beams to low beams when
meeting or following other vehicles within
500 feet (150 meters).
o Never leave the vehicle unattended with the
engine running or with the key in the ignition.
Turn off the engine, remove keys and apply
the parking brake before leaving the vehicle.
o Shut-off the engine before refueling, adding
oil, performing maintenance or servicing
tasks, unless stated otherwise.
o Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Do
not smoke when refueling. Keep away from
open flames or sparks.
o Do not run the engine or HVAC system with
access doors left open. Close compartment
doors before operating any equipment.
o Do not remove the surge tank filler cap or
the cooling system pressure cap when the
engine is hot. Let the engine cool down
before removing filler caps.
o Do not attempt to push or pull-start a vehicle
equipped with an automatic transmission.
o The service life of the vehicle depends on
the kind of maintenance it receives. Always
record any problems and report them
immediately to maintenance personnel.
o Do not use the trailer hitch before reading
the safety, technical and operational
requirements on page 14 of this manual.
DEFENSIVE DRIVING PRACTICES
o For city driving, allow a four to six second
travel interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Increase this travel interval
to six to eight seconds for highway driving.
Increase time interval for driving at night or
in foul weather.
o Be prepared to stop when approaching an
intersection. The stopping distance of the
vehicle increases with the weight and speed.
o Establish eye-to-eye contact with other
drivers and with pedestrians. Use, high
beam and low beam headlights, turn signals
and horn as needed.
o On highway, don't stare at the road ahead.
Keep your eyes moving. Check mirrors and
dashboard instruments frequently.
o To keep the vehicle from drifting across
lanes during highway driving, always look
over the horizon on the road ahead.
o Adjust your speed to road conditions, traffic
and visibility. Never exceed the posted
speed limits.
o If another vehicle is following close behind,
reduce your speed to let the vehicle pass.
For additional information about safe operation
and defensive driving practices, contact the local
department of motor vehicles authority.

emptied. Always refer to the appropriate wiring
and pneumatic diagrams prior to working on
electrical and/or pneumatic systems.
