ide modulated braking. (Added to NRS by 1969, 1209) NRS 484.601 Arrangement of system; device for control. Every motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, house trailer and pole trailer, and every combination of such vehicles, except motorcycles, mopeds, power cycles and motor-driven cycles, equipped with brakes shall have the braking system so arranged that one control device can be used to operate all service brakes. The braking system on the towed vehicle may be surge actuated brakes. This requirement does not prohibit vehicles from being equipped with an additional control device to be used to operate brakes on the towed vehicles. This regulation does not apply to driveaway or towaway operations unless the brakes on the individual vehicles are designed to be operated by a single control on the towing vehicle. (Added to NRS by 1969, 1210; A 1975, 131, 1081) NRS 484.603 Reservoirs. 1. Every bus, truck or truck-tractor with air-operated brakes shall be equipped with at least one reservoir sufficient to insure that, when fully charged to the maximum pressure as regulated by the air compressor governor cutout setting, a full service brake application may be made without lowering such reservoir pressure by more than 30 percent. Each reservoir shall be provided with means for readily draining accumulated oil or water. 2. Every truck with three or more axles equipped with vacuum-assistor type brakes and every truck-tractor and truck used for towing a vehicle equipped with vacuum brakes shall be equipped with a reserve capacity or a vacuum reservoir sufficient to insure that, with the reserve capacity or reservoir fully charged and with the engine stopped, a full service brake application may be made without depleting the vacuum supply by more than 30 percent. 3. All motor vehicles, trailers, semitrailers and pole trailers, when equipped with air or vacuum reservoirs or reserve capacity as required by this section, shall have such reservoirs or reserve capacity so safeguarded by a check valve or equivalent device that in the event of failure or leakage in its connection to the source of compressed air or vacuum, the stored air or vacuum shall not be depleted by the leak or failure. (Added to NRS by 1969, 1210) NRS 484.605 Warning signals and devices for certain buses, trucks and truck-tractors. 1. Every bus, truck or truck-tractor using compressed air for the operation of its own brakes or the brakes on any towed vehicle shall be provided with a warning signal, other than a pressure gauge, readily audible or visible to the driver, which will operate at any time the air reservoir pressure of the vehicle is below 50 percent of the air compressor governor cutout pressure. In addition, each such vehicle shall be equipped with a pressure gauge visible to the driver, which indicates in pounds per square inch the pressure available for braking. 2. Every truck-tractor and truck used for towing a vehicle equipped with vacuum-operated brakes and every truck with three or more axles using vacuum in the operation of its brakes, except those in driveaway or towaway operations, shall be equipped with a warning signal, other than a gauge indicating vacuum, readily audible or visible to the driver, which will operate at any time the vacuum in the vehicle’s supply reservoir or reserve capacity is less than 8 inches of mercury. 3. When a vehicle required to be equipped with a warning device is equipped with both air and vacuum power for the operation of its own brakes or the brakes on a towed vehicle, the warning devices may be, but are not required to be, combined into a single device which will serve both purposes. A gauge or gauges indicating pressure or vacuum shall not be deemed to be an adequate means of satisfying this requirement. (Added to NRS by 1969, 1210) NRS 484.6055 Conditions upon use of compression brakes; penalty. 1. The driver of a vehicle which is equipped with a device for braking that uses the compression of the engine of the vehicle shall not use the device at any time unless: (a) The device is equipped with an operational muffler; or (b) The driver reasonably believes that an emergency requires the use of the device to protect the physical safety of a person or others from an immediate threat of physical injury or to protect against an immediate threat of damage to property. 2. A person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. (Added to NRS by 2003, 403) Odometers NRS 484.606 Definitions. As used in NRS 484.606 to 484.6069, inclusive, unless the context otherwise requires: 1. “Odometer” means an instrument for measuring and recording the total distance which a motor vehicle travels while in operation. The term does not include any auxiliary odometer designed to be reset by the operator of the motor vehicle. 2. “Repair and replacement” means restoration to a sound working condition by replacing the odometer or any part thereof, or by correcting what is inoperative. 3. “Transfer” means to change ownership by purchase, gift or any other means. (Added to NRS by 1973, 372; A 1995, 155) NRS 484.6061 Unlawful devices. 1. It is unlawful for any person to advertise for sale, to sell, to use, to install or to have installed any device which causes an odometer to register any mileage other than the true mileage driven. 2. For purposes of this section, the true mileage driven is that mileage traveled by the vehicle, as registered by the odometer, within the manufacturer’s designed tolerance for such odometer. (Added to NRS by 1973, 372) NRS 484.6062 Unlawful change of mileage. It is unlawful for any person or his agent to disconnect, reset or alter the odometer of any motor vehicle with the intent to change the number of miles indicated thereon. (Added to NRS by 1973, 373) NRS 484.6063 Operation with intent to defraud unlawful. It is unlawful for any person, with the intent to defraud, to operate a motor vehicle on any highway of this State knowing that the odometer of such vehicle is disconnected or nonfunctional. (Added to NRS by 1973, 373) NRS 484.6064 Conspiracy. It is unlawful for any person to conspire with any other person to violate NRS 484.606 to 484.6069, inclusive. (Added to NRS by 1973, 373) NRS 484.6065 Lawful service, repair or replacement; notice to be attached to vehicle when odometer adjusted to read zero. 1. NRS 484.606 to 484.6069, inclusive, do not prevent the service, repair or replacement of an odometer, if the mileage indicated on such odometer remains the same as before the service, repair or replacement. 2. Where the odometer is incapable of registering the same mileage as before such service, repair or replacement, the odometer shall be adjusted to read zero and a notice in writing shall be attached to the left door frame of the vehicle by the owner or his agent, specifying the mileage prior to repair or replacement of the odometer and the date on which it was repaired or replaced. Any such notice shall not be removed or altered. (Added to NRS by 1973, 373) NRS 484.60665 Department to enforce provisions of federal law relating to disclosure of odometer reading of motor vehicle and certain other information. The Department shall enforce the provisions of 49 U.S.C. §§ 32701 et seq. and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. (Added to NRS by 1995, 155) NRS 484.6067 Criminal penalties. 1. A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor if he knowingly sells a motor vehicle whose odometer has been altered for the purpose of fraud. 2.
