Chapter 2 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
The U.S. Government has established the various motor vehicle regulations regarding Safety,
Noise and Exhaust emissions 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 or HMM (USA) 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.
SAFETY STANDARDS
The United States Code Title 49 and the standards and regulations issued by National High-
way 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).
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.

Chapter 2 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Certification Label
All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML or HMM (USA) for sale in the United States are
furnished with an “Incomplete vehicle certification label” under the provision of Part 567 of Title
49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 567).
This label contains the statements which specify the FMVSS to which the incomplete vehicle
conforms, the FMVSS to which the vehicle will conform if completed in accordance with the
instructions 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.

Chapter 2 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML or HMM (USA) for sale in the United States are
provided with VIN Plate and Certification Label under the provision of the Federal Regulations.
The labels are located on the position indicated in the following figures.
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.

Chapter 2 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
All incomplete vehicles manufactured by HML or HMM (USA) 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 impermissi-
bly 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.
Vehicles to which alterations or additions are made which may increase exterior noise emis-
sions must be ascertained to comply with the applicable noise standards after the modifica-
tions have been completed.
KK-US003D 7
Chapter 2 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
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.
All diesel engines installed in Hino incomplete vehicle have been certified to the applicable
Federal and California exhaust emissions requirements for Heavy Duty Engines (engines in
vehicles exceeding 8,500 pounds GVWR).
The intermediate and/or final stage manufacturer must assure that none of the engine emis-
sion related parts is either deleted or rendered inoperative.
A copy of the appropriate Hino Owner’s Manual and Service & Warranty Information must be
installed in every vehicle prior to sale to the ultimate purchaser in order to provide emission
systems warranty and maintenance schedules.
