There is a fantastic resource to get to know your Freightliner Truck as an owner or driver.

Using your Smart Phone or computer you can go to the app store and look for Freightliner Smart Source

The beauty of this app is that you can enter the last 6 numbers of your trucks VIN and you will only be exposed to videos and training material which pertains to your particular VIN number.  You never know you might find a feature you did not realize your truck had.  After you are in the site, open the app and click on Training and then at top of the screen you will see Driver Training by VIN click on this link and it will take you to a Freightliner page where you will enter the last six numbers of your VIN.  I entered the VIN number for my truck and this is how many videos I found.
