Important: If an audible alarm activates, do not operate any electrical switch, including lights. Avoid causing sparks and stay away from arcing switches and equipment. Do not use a telephone, including cellular phones or any types of portable communication or electronic devices that have a battery.
If the vehicle is in motion when the audible alarm activates, bring it to a safe stop, shut down the engine, and exit the vehicle. Do not open the hood.
If outside the vehicle when the audible alarm activates, do not open the cab door or hood.
In the event of an audible alarm, immediately follow these procedures, as allowed by conditions:
-
Immediately shut off all engines. Extinguish any cigarettes, pilot lights, flames, or other sources of ignition in the area and adjacent areas.
-
Manually close all fuel shutoff valves, including those on the LNG tank or CNG cylinders.
-
If the vehicle is indoors (as in a service shop), immediately open windows and doors to provide extra ventilation to the area. Do not start the engine or any other type of equipment until the gas leak is corrected and the area cleared of natural gas.
-
Evacuate the area.
-
Check the fuel lines, LNG tank/CNG cylinders, and fittings to locate the leak. After the area is cleared of natural gas and the alarm is no longer active, have the vehicle inspected by a qualified technician.
Important: Do not consider the area clear until all alarm indicators are off, and the alarm panel light returns to green.
