WARNING
Use extreme care when placing road flares in
emergency situations that involve exposure to
flammable substances. A fire could occur
causing serious personal injury.
If there is an emergency while driving:
•
Quickly and safely pull off the road.
•
Turn on the hazard warning lights.
•
Place reflectors or road flares along the side of
the road to alert other drivers that an
emergency situation exists.
In Case of an Under-Inflated or
Flat Tire
The eCascadia is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) which monitors tire
pressure and temperature. For full information on the
TPMS, see
The TPMS can
be accessed on the infotainment panel in the vehicle.
The TPMS shows the tire pressure in pounds per
square inch (psi) or bar units and color codes this
information to communicate its severity level. See
Red status indicates that the tire pressure poses a
threat to the control of the vehicle.
Amber status indicates a condition that may result in
damage to the vehicle. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the tires and
increases the likelihood of tire failure.
Pull off the road to a safe location as soon as
possible if any tire displays as amber or red. Avoid
any sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking.
If the TPMS issues a warning when all tires are
properly inflated, have the vehicle checked at an
authorized Freightliner facility.
Repair a flat tire as soon as possible.

Batteries release explosive gas. Do not smoke
when working around batteries. Put out all flames
and remove all sources of sparks or intense heat
in the vicinity of the battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. Do
not lean over the batteries when making
connections. Keep all other persons away from
the batteries.
Failure to follow these precautions could lead to
severe personal injury as a result of an explosion
or acid burns.
