1. SAFETY STANDARDS The U.S. Government has established the various motor vehicle regulations regarding Safety, Noise, Exhaust emissions and GHG under the provisions of the related acts of Congress. These regulations and acts impose important legal responsibilities on manufacturers, dealers, body builders and other engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States are conformed to comply with the applicable regulations. But, the alterations or the additions to the incomplete vehicle will affect the vehicle specifications and performance. Therefore, it is a responsibility of the intermediate and/or final stage manufacturer to ascertain that the final completed vehicle complies with all applicable regulations after the alterations or the additions are completed. The following information is intended to assist you of understanding the applicable standards as for guide only. Detailed information of the act or the regulation should be obtained from your legal counsel or from the government. New regulations and the amendments issued by the Federal Governments will be published on the Federal Register from time to time. You may obtain the Federal Register through the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The United States Code Title 49 and the standards and regulations issued by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) impose responsibilities on manufacturers, dealers, body builders and others. The following information identifies the requirements concerning certification of compliance to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) of vehicles manufactured in two or more stages specified in Part 567 and Part 568 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 567 and 49 CFR 568). Document for Incomplete Vehicle All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States have been attached a Document for Incomplete Vehicle. This document contains information which an incomplete vehicle manufacturer is required to furnish to subsequent stage manufacturers under the provision of Part 568 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 568). This information includes the identification of incomplete vehicle, the type of vehicle into which the incomplete vehicle may be manufactured, and a listing of the applicable FMVSS. Each applicable standard is accompanied by a statement indicating the degree of compliance of the incomplete vehicle with that standard at the time of manufacture by HML. In some cases, HML has provided statements as to the conditions under which the vehicle may be manufactured so as to conform when completed. 49 CFR 568 requires the incomplete vehicle manufacturer to specify the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for each axle of the vehicle, and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the total vehicle. HML provides this information on the cover of a Document for Incomplete Vehicle. The Document for Incomplete Vehicle must be forwarded with the vehicle until the final stage manufacturer has installed a certification label on the completed vehicle. 1
Information Label All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States are furnished with an Information label under the provision of Part 567 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 567). This label contains the statements that the vehicle is an incomplete vehicle. The degree of compliance is contained in Document for Incomplete Vehicle, and that conformity with the other FMVSS is not substantially affected by the design of the incomplete vehicle. The party installing a body or equipment to complete the vehicle for delivery will be responsible to see that the completed vehicle meets all applicable FMVSS. For certification of compliance, the completed vehicle should affix a final certification label securely and permanently to the vehicle. Noise Label All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States are furnished with a Vehicle Noise Emission Label under the provision of Part 205 of Title, Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 205).

The location of the Information Label, Noise Label and GHG Label All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States are provided with Information Label, Noise Label and GHG Label under the provision of the Federal Regulations. The labels are located on the position indicated in the following figures. RIGHT-SIDE B PILLAR OF THE CAB LEFT-SIDE B PILLAR OF THE CAB Tire Identification and Record Keeping GHG LABEL The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued regulations (49 CFR 574) dealing with tire identification and record keeping which became effective May 22, 1971. Under these regulations important legal responsibilities are imposed upon tire manufacturers, brand name owners, retreaders, distributors, dealers and motor vehicle manufacturers to maintain and/or report certain information concerning tires. This information will be used to facilitate the notification of purchasers of defective or nonconforming tires so that they may take appropriate action in the interest of safety. Questions concerning the application of these regulations to your business should be consulted with your legal counsel. Under these tire regulations we (HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.) have a record of the tires on each vehicle we shipped to you. If you do not change a tire on a Hino vehicle, it is important that you make sure that it is reshipped with the same tires that were on it when the vehicle was received by you. This will mean that any tires which you remove from a vehicle during the course of your work should be put back on the same vehicle. If you change a tire on a Hino vehicle, it is necessary that you furnish us with such information on vehicles which are returned to us after you have completed your work. It is important that you report to us the full tire identification number (TIN) for each tire you install and the full vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle on which the tire is installed. In case you should receive a defect notification from a tire manufacturer concerning tires which you installed on a vehicle returned to us, you may will appear in our records. 4
2. VEHICLE NOISE REGULATIONS INFORMATION Exterior Noise Regulations Applicable to Sale of New Vehicle The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established Noise Emission Standards applicable to the Medium-duty and Heavy-duty trucks (in excess of 10,000 pounds GVWR) manufactured after January 1, 1978 under the provisions of the Noise Control Act of 1972. The standards provide that vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1988 must conform to an 80 db(a) level. (Part 205 of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations) All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML for sale in the United States are designed to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s Medium-duty and Heavy-duty Truck Noise Emission Standards (40 CFR 205). Information for these noise emission standards appears in the Hino Owner s Manual supplied with each Hino vehicle. In planning vehicle modifications, the Tampering List which is mentioned in the Hino Owner s Manual should be consulted to identify those parts or systems the alteration or removal of which are most likely to affect the truck s compliance with the Noise Emission Standards. In addition, prospective modifiers should consider whether other contemplated modifications, not mentioned in the Tampering List, may increase the Noise Emissions of truck to an impermissibly high level. The Federal regulations require regulated trucks completed by a subsequent stage manufacturer for use in the United States to conform to those standards. The Federal Noise Control Act of 1972 as amended provides civil penalties for distribution in commerce by a manufacturer of noncomplying trucks, and criminal penalties where such distribution is willful or knowing. Questions concerning compliance with noise regulations should be consulted with your legal counsel. Exterior Noise Regulations Applicable to Vehicles in Use The Federal Interstate Motor Carrier Operations Standards, which are applicable to all motor carrier vehicles engaged in interstate commerce having a GVWR in excess of 10,000 pounds, prescribe the following limits for exterior noise all as measured under the test condition specified by the standards. (40 CFR Part 202 and 49 CFR Part 325) 83 db(a) at 35 mph or less 87 db(a) over 35 mph 85 db(a) when stationary Vehicles to which alterations or additions are made which may increase exterior noise emissions must be ascertained to comply with the applicable noise standards after the modifications have been completed. Interior Noise Regulations Applicable to Vehicles The Federal Interstate Motor Carrier Interior Noise Standard is applicable to all motor carrier vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVWR which are engaged in interstate commerce. This standard requires that the interior sound level at the driver s seating position of any such vehicle not exceed 90 db(a) when measured in accordance with the test procedure described in 49 CFR 393.94(C). Vehicles to which alterations or additions are made which may increase interior noise levels must be ascertained to comply with the interior noise regulation after the modifications have been completed. 5
