Preface
WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS SO
IMPORTANT!
This handbook contains the
information which you, the driver, will
need for optimum efficiency, safety
and comfort when operating this
vehicle.
Besides giving instructions about
operation and use, it also pays
attention to maintenance and minor
repairs which you may be able to carry
out yourself.
For more serious problems, DAF has
its own service organisation in Europe:
International Truck Service (ITS). For
drivers stranded abroad, the ITS
switchboard in Eindhoven (the
Netherlands) is only a phone call
away. It is manned 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, to provide you with
technical, organisational or other types
of assistance and to limit the
downtime of your vehicle to a
minimum.
To make use of the services provided
by ITS (and the conditions thereof),
you should consult the ITS dealer
address book.
2
Note:
This handbook is based on the
chassis with its fittings as it originally
left the DAF factory.
Depending upon the required body
and equipment, the bodybuilder may
have made fundamental changes to
various parts or systems, such as the
instrument panel, the lighting or the
electric wiring.
The vehicle series covered by this
handbook consists of various types
and models. Individual vehicles are
furthermore constructed in accordance
with the legal regulations in the
country concerned and in accordance
with the expected operating
conditions. Certain descriptions or
illustrations in this handbook may
therefore not correspond entirely to
the situation on your own vehicle.
However, this has practically no
influence on its operation or
maintenance.
Important
Make sure this handbook is in the
vehicle at all times. Read it carefully
before making your first journey,
especially the “Safety precautions”,
“Technical items of special
importance”, “Instruments and
controls”, “Checks” and “Driving”
sections.
In addition to this handbook (available
in several languages from your DAF
dealer) the following publications have
been produced:
Identity card*
Warranty booklet*
Maintenance planning booklet*
ITS book of dealer addresses*
Maintenance manual
Bodybuilders’ guidelines

 Warnings and safety precautions
To prevent damage to the
1 vehicle and in order not to
jeopardise your health
and/or safety, or that of
other people, the following
safety regulations must be
strictly observed.
First read the instructions and
warnings on the labels and stickers
which on the various components and
comply with them!
They have been put there for your
health and safety, so do not ignore
them!
6
ENGINE
Do not run the engine in an enclosed
or unventilated area.
Make sure exhaust fumes are properly
extracted.
COMPONENTS
Maintain a safe distance from rotating
and/or moving components.
COOLING SYSTEM FILLER CAP
Do not remove the filler cap of the
cooling system when the engine is at
operating temperature.
HAZARD WARNING TRIANGLE
Ensure that you are always in
possession of a hazard warning
triangle (obligatory in certain
countries), possibly in combination
with other marking equipment.
In the event of a breakdown en route,
wear reflective clothing when outside
the vehicle.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Ensure that you are always in
possession of a fire extinguisher
(obligatory in certain countries). It
should be well secured under the seat,
within the driver’s reach and easily
accessible, also for rescue workers
and others providing assistance. Have
the fire extinguisher checked for
operational readiness each year. If it
has been used, have it refilled at the
earliest opportunity.
After a possible fire:
Certain plastic seals can, in the event
of a fire, form gases which together
with water form a corrosive acid. Do
not therefore touch remaining fire
extinguisher water on the vehicle
without protection.

FIRST AID KIT
Ensure that you are always in
possession of a first aid kit (obligatory
in certain countries). After use, make
the kit complete again as soon as
possible.
WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS
When winter driving conditions are
expected (especially if the vehicle is
operated in mountainous areas) make
sure that your vehicle is fitted with
winter tyres or that you have snow
chains with you. (Also see “Preventive
maintenance before the winter
season” and “Preventive maintenance
after the winter season”).
Warnings and safety precautions
VEHICLE LOAD
The load should always be properly
secured so that it cannot move, not
even during an emergency stop.
Remember that side walls, partitions,
headboards, etc., are often not
designed to withstand high forces.
Loads must not project more than is
permitted by local regulations.
Bear in mind that the stability of the
vehicle may be impaired by the load
and that you may also need a larger
turning circle.
Make sure when loading that the
following are not exceeded:
max. permissible gross combination
weight (GCW)
max. permissible gross vehicle weight
(GVW)
max. permissible axle load.
OILS AND LUBRICANTS
1
Various sorts of oil and other
lubricants used on the vehicle may
constitute a health hazard upon
physical contact.
This also applies to engine coolant,
windscreen washer fluid, Freon in
air-conditioning systems, battery acid
and diesel oil.
Physical contact with them should be
avoided wherever possible.
To prevent possible fire hazard, easily
flammable fluids must not be used on
or around the engine.
Exercise caution when changing hot
oil; it can cause serious bodily injury.

 Warnings and safety precautions
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
1 MAINTENANCE
When carrying out repairs or service
under the cab, make sure the cab is
fully tilted and locked to prevent it
falling back accidentally.
If a cooler box/refrigerator has been
installed, switch it off before tilting and
if possible pull out the plug (depending
on type).
The cooler box/refrigerator should
remain switched off at least
30 minutes after the cab has been
tilted back.
Following a collision, only tilt the cab in
an emergency situation in
connection with possible damage to
the tilting mechanism.
(The end stop may no longer be on
the lifting cylinder).
Always use stands to support the
chassis when carrying out repairs or
service under a vehicle which is
resting on a jack.
8
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The air conditioning system contains
coolant under high pressure. Removal
of any parts of the air conditioning
system is not permitted. Work on the
air conditioning system may only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
If the air conditioning fails to work, it
must be repaired by a dealer as soon
as possible, to avoid further damage
to the system.
ENVIRONMENTAL WARNINGS
Pollution in all its guises constitutes a
serious threat to the environment. To
keep pollution to a minimum, DAF
recommends that the following rules
be observed:
- Do not dump used oil, hydraulic
fluid, refrigerants or engine coolant
in drains, sewers or in landfills or
other areas. Above all, this is
illegal. These fluids should be
returned to the designated
authority or appropriate waste
chemicals collection company for
recycling or destruction. All used
fluids should be stored separately.
- Make sure that the vehicle is
serviced regularly according to the
instructions and recommendations
of DAF. A properly serviced
vehicle helps to optimise fuel
economy and reduce the level of
harmful constituents in the
exhaust gases.

To prevent damage to the vehicle,
the following instructions must be
strictly observed.
RUNNING-IN
During the running-in period it is best
not to subject the new vehicle to
excessive loads.
This also applies when an overhauled
engine, gearbox or differential has
been installed.
Therefore, for the first 1,500 km: drive
carefully and avoid accelerating
sharply.
The following technical items of
special importance apply to both
the running-in period and to the
period thereafter.
After a cold start continue to drive in
a low gear and at a moderate engine
speed until the engine coolant
temperature is out of the orange
section.
Check the instrument panel regularly
when driving and take immediate
action at the first sign of trouble.
Technical items of special importance

it idle for at least 5 minutes.
It is important to let the engine run for
a while amongst other things in order
to prevent the coolant temperature
getting too hot and to allow the
turbocharger to cool down.
The engine cooling system is
thermostatically controlled.
Removing the thermostat when the
coolant temperature is (too) high,
serves no useful purpose and is
strongly advised against, since this will
only cause the engine temperature to
rise to an even higher level.
9
 Technical items of special importance
SYSTEM VOLTAGE
1
The vehicle is equipped with a 24 volt
electrical system.
When replacing or fitting electrical or
electronic components, always verify
that they are suitable for this system
Voltage.
BATTERIES
Never disconnect the
battery terminals while the
engine is running!
Always charge batteries in a properly
ventilated area and avoid sparking and
naked flames.
Fast-charging should only be resorted
to in an emergency; when a fast
charger is used, the battery leads
must be disconnected.
Always disconnect the battery earth
lead before carrying out repairs or
service on the electrical system.
Never place tools on a battery. This
may cause a short circuit and may
even cause the battery to explode.
10
CHARGING
Thaw out frozen batteries
before charging them.
Remove all the vent caps
before charging.
First connect the positive lead (+) of
the battery charger to the positive
terminal (+) of the battery and then the
negative lead (–) to the negative
terminal (–).
After charging, switch off the battery
charger and then disconnect the
negative terminal (–) and
subsequently the positive terminal (+).
For normal charging, the battery leads
may remain in place.
For quick loading both battery cables
must be disconnected because
otherwise the electronics may be
adversely effected.
WELDING
Welding work must never be carried
out on the chassis. Before starting any
welding work on the vehicle, the
battery earth lead must first be
disconnected. Furthermore, all
electrical connections between cab
and chassis must be interrupted.
In addition, the earth terminal of the
welding set must be attached as
close as possible to the area on the
vehicle where the welding is to be
done, so that good contact is made
with the part being welded. Do not
attach the earth terminal to springs or
axles. Make sure that weld spatters do
not fall on air pipes, springs, etc.

STARTING WITH AUXILIARY
BATTERIES
The engine may be started with the
aid of jump leads using the power
from separate auxiliary batteries
(approx. 24V) or from another vehicle
with the engine running (approx. 28V).
When this starting procedure is
followed, the battery leads must
not be disconnected. Connect the
jump leads first to the positive terminal
(+) and then to the negative terminal
(–). To disconnect, first release the
negative terminal (–) and then the
positive terminal (+).
In the event that the batteries are fully
discharged and the engine is running,
it is then important that the jump leads
are not immediately disconnected. In
order to avoid damage to the electrical
system (peak voltage!), the engine
must run for at least 2 to 3 minutes
before the jump leads are removed.
Technical items of special importance
Proceed as follows as soon as the
engine starts running:
- switch on as many power
consumers as possible (for
example: head lights, fog lights,
heater fan, etc.)
- remove the jump leads after the
engine has run for 2 to 3 minutes
- switch off the consumers again
Never start the engine with the aid of
a fast-charger.
MOBILE PHONES AND
TRANSMITTERS
If mobile telephones and transmitting
equipment are used, the following
points must be taken into account:
- Mobile telephones or transmitting
equipment must not be used in the
vehicle without a separate outside
aerial!
The use of mobile
telephones and 1
transmitting equipment
without separate outside
aerials can cause
excessively high
electromagnetic fields in
the interior of the cab
(resonance effect). In this
case, there may be
interference to the
operation of the vehicle
electronics.
- Moreover, an outside aerial is
necessary in order to achieve the
maximum range of the equipment.
Note:
It is important to observe the
instructions for use of mobile
telephones and transmitting
equipment!
11
 Cleaning
Cleaning the vehicle
1 Before the vehicle is cleaned, check
for leaks in the engine, axles, gearbox,
etc. After cleaning the vehicle, and
carrying out maintenance work, this is
no longer possible.
When a high-pressure cleaner is used,
take special note of the following
points:
- Make sure that the doors,
windows and roof hatch are
properly closed.
- Do not spray directly on seals.
There is a danger of them being
forced open so that water can
penetrate or grease packed
behind them is flushed away. This
may happen, for example, with the
universal joint on the steering box.
As a result, the spider may seize
so that the steering will jam.
12
- The power steering fluid reservoir
is fitted with a bleed screw. Water
may enter the power steering fluid
reservoir via the bleed screw,
which will cause damage to the
steering gear.
- When cleaning the
radiator/intercooler, take care not
to damage the fins.
- Do not direct the
high-pressure/steam cleaner jet
too long at the condenser of the
air-conditioning system. As a
result of the high temperature, the
pressure in the system will rise too
high, which may cause damage to
the system. Parts of the
air-conditioning must not be
cleaned with the aid of a
high-pressure/steam cleaner as
this can cause damage to the
seals.
- Make sure that no water can enter
the differential and gearbox via the
breathers.
- Make sure that no water can enter
via the reservoir bleed screws of
clutch, brakes, trailing axle, etc.
- The engine and engine
compartments can be cleaned with
a high-pressure cleaner. Avoid
spraying directly onto electronic
components such as fuel system
pump units, the starter motor,
alternator, air-conditioning
compressor, headlights, etc.
- Carefully clean the engine
encapsulation and its fittings.
Remove any spilled oil and diesel
oil to avoid the risk of fire.

- Do not aim the jet of water directly
at electrical connections such as
connectors, cable plugs in the
vehicle lighting system, etc. Also
do not aim the jet at the gear lever
unit.
- When cleaning the vehicle, make
sure that no water can enter the
air inlet system via the air intake or
its flexible seals.
- When the vehicle has been
cleaned, it must be lubricated
again with a grease gun or via the
automatic lubrication system. This
is important because it prevents
the penetration of moisture and
dirt at the various pivot points.
Cleaning the cab
Depending on the vehicle’s operating
conditions, the external paintwork of
the cab is subject to attack by
corrosive substances, for example
road salt and polluted air. To this end,
consider amongst others grit and air
pollution.
The paintwork must therefore be
cleaned regularly.
When cleaning the cab, make sure
that:
- no caustic cleaners are used
- no hard brushes are used
- all seams, gaps and door
shut-lines are thoroughly cleaned
It is advisable to clean the paintwork
using DAF shampoo.
Cleaning
Waxing the cab
The paintwork of new vehicles is 1
waxed to protect it against the
elements.
After a time this wax coating will
gradually wear away as a result of
cleaning and other external influences.
To give corrosive substances less
chance of attacking the paint, it is
advisable to protect the paintwork with
a new wax coating at least twice a
year.
Wax the paintwork with DAF wax.
Your dealer can advise you about
additional anti-rust treatment and
maintenance of the paintwork when
the vehicle is in service.
13
 Cleaning
Cleaning the interior
1 The day cab can be fitted with fabric
or plastic trimming.
The sleeper cab is only available with
fabric trimming.
The plastic can be cleaned with a
household cleaning agent and warm
water.
The fabric trimming should be cleaned
with a non-aggressive dry-cleaning
agent, or an equivalent product.
Note:
The appearance of your vehicle is
your company’s face to the world!

1. SWITCH, LIGHTING
The vehicle lighting switch is a rotary
2 switch with three positions:
Position 0 lighting switched off
Position I parking and marker
lights on
Position II headlights, parking and
marker lights on
When the vehicle lighting switch is in
position I, the lamps in the various
switches will illuminate with reduced
intensity so that the switches are
clearly visible.
3. FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge only operates with the
contact switched on.
Note the delay of the fuel gauge.
36
4. AIR PRESSURE GAUGE
Each pointer indicates the air pressure
in the reservoirs of one of the service
brake system circuits. If the pressure
in one of the circuits drops below
5 bar, a buzzer will sound and the
warning lamp “Air system pressure too
low” will illuminate in the CWS-display.
When the pressure is higher than
5 bar, the brakes can be released with
the parking brake lever. The buzzer
and the lamp can only operate with
the contact switched on. The pressure
gauge also operates when the contact
is switched off.
As long as the operation of the buzzer
continues, or if the pressure in one of
the circuits is lower than 5 bar, the
vehicle must not be driven.
5. COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The engine should not be operated
under full load if the temperature is in
the orange field.
The engine is at operating
temperature when the temperature
gauge is vertical, or slightly further.
If the coolant temperature suddenly
rises and/or the pointer is in the in the
red field, the following points should
be checked:
- The coolant level (caution, danger
of scalding: see “Checking the
coolant level” in the “Daily checks”
section).
- The V-belts and water hoses.
- The cooling fan clutch.

heat or ventilate the cab.
In the dashboard there are four air
vents which are adjustable for volume
and direction of inflowing air. They
supply only unheated or cooled air.
Air vents are located at the sides, level
with the doors, that supply hot or cold
air. The temperature is controlled with
rotary switch 3. The volume of
inflowing air can be controlled with the
knurled wheels on the air vents.

Dehumidification
- While heating (see under A), it is
possible to use the air conditioning
to remove moisture from the air in
the cab. This has the advantage
2 that demisting of the window glass
will be quicker.
- Switch on the air conditioning.
- Switch off the recirculation.
- Open the vents on the centre
console and above the side
windows and turn knob 2 to the
desired position.
- Regulate the temperature by
moving switch 3 to the desired
position.
- Only cooled air now emerges from
the vents in the centre console,
while heated air will flow out of the
other vents (depending upon the
positions of rotary switches 2
and 3).
- The volume of air can be further
regulated with knob 1 (fan).
54
Use of the air conditioner
- When the air conditioning is in
use, the windows must remain
closed.
- In order to rapidly reduce the
temperature at the start, use
maximum air speed. Later, the air
speed can be reduced.
- Ensure that neither you nor your
passengers feel any direct cold or
draft. Do not aim the blower
openings directly at your body.
- Ensure that the temperature
difference between the inside and
outside of the cab does not
exceed 5 to 6°C, when you leave
the cab. You are therefore advised
to switch off the air conditioning,
towards the end of your journey.
- Remember that the air
conditioning unit consumes power
(fuel consumption).
- On extreme angles (slopes, ruts
and difficult terrain) switch off the
air conditioning, to protect the
compressor against unlubricated
operation.
- In order to protect the battery and
starter motor when starting the
engine, you are advised to ensure
that the air conditioning is
switched off, prior to ignition.
Therefore, switch off the air
conditioning, before you switch off
the engine.
- Regularly (once a month) switch
on the air conditioning briefly, even
if cooling is not required (e.g. in
the winter). This will prevent
serious damage being caused to
the system (including compressor
blockage).

The air conditioning
system contains coolant
under high pressure.
Removal of any parts of
the air conditioning
system is not permitted.
Work on the air
conditioning system may
only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
If the air conditioning fails
to work, it must be
repaired by a dealer as
soon as possible, to avoid
further damage to the
system.

CAB HEATER (AIR HEATER)
With the auxiliary heater, the
temperature in the cab is monitored by
the thermostat, which also controls the
speed of the cab heater fan.
The auxiliary heater (air heater)
operates independently of the vehicle
heater, and the setting of the contact.
Instruments and controls
The control unit for the cab heater is
on the cab rear wall. The control for
the auxiliary heating is on the rear
wall. The controls include:
1. a rotary switch for the temperature
setting
2
2. on/off switch
3. a temperature sensor
4. a green warning lamp
The auxiliary heater can be switched
on by means of the switch in the
centre console.
Switch (2) on the control panel
mounted in the rear wall should then
be switched to the “heating” position.
Thanks to the position of the switches,
the auxiliary heating can be switched
on or off either from the bunk or from
the driver’s seat.
The green warning lamp indicates that
the cab heater is operating.
55
 Instruments and controls
Faults
In some cases a fault can be reset by
switching off switch 2 and then quickly
on again.
If the fault cannot be reset have the
2 auxiliary heater checked by a dealer.
The auxiliary heater must
be switched off when
filling the tanks with fuel!
Switch off the auxiliary
heater when leaving the
cab for a long period of
time.
The auxiliary heater must
be switched off when the
vehicle is parked in a
confined space.
56
CAB HEATER (WATER HEATER)
Use of the water heater.
The water heater fulfils the following
functions:
- Preheating the engine, and
keeping the cab and/or a
non-running engine at a set
temperature;
- Additional heating of the cab
interior under circumstances (e.g.
when extremely cold) where the
engine is idling for long periods
(e.g. in traffic jams) and the
vehicle heater has difficulty in
heating the cab.
The water heater is connected to the
engine coolant circuit.
The heat is fed to the cab through the
existing heat exchanger (heater fan)
and the hot air channels of the vehicle.
The residual heat is used to warm the
engine. If the heater fan is switched to
zero, all heat is directed to the engine.
Cab heating
- To switch on the auxiliary heating,
the temperature control (rotary
switch 3) should be on 100%.
- The auxiliary heater can be
switched on by means of the
switch in the centre console.
- Then the cab heater must be
switched on via the control panel
that is fitted in the rear wall.
- Thanks to the position of the
switches, the auxiliary heating can
be switched on or off either from
the bunk or from the driver’s seat.
- Set the heater fan speed control to
setting 1 or 2.

Note:
Power consumption is very high in
blower positions 3 and 4. Use of these
positions, with the engine switched off,
should be avoided.
Preheating the engine
1. Put the heater fan speed control
(switch 1) in position 0.
2. Turn rotary switch 2 to position 0
so that all the vents are closed.
3. Turn the temperature control
(rotary switch 3) to 100%.
4. Switch on the auxiliary heater.
Note:
The heater blower operates
independently of the contact when the
auxiliary heating is in use. On leaving
the vehicle, the heater blower should
therefore be switched off.
The auxiliary heater must
be switched off when
filling the tanks with fuel!
Switch off the heater
blower and the auxiliary
heater when leaving the
cab for a long period of
time.
The auxiliary heater must
be switched off when the
vehicle is parked in a

CENTRAL WARNING SYSTEM
(CWS)
General
DAF has developed this Central
Warning System (CWS) in order to
2
provide the driver, as efficiently as
possible, with all functional information
concerning the operation and control
of the various systems, to ensure
maximum security. The system
consists of a display, a buzzer, an
information button and a central
warning lamp “STOP” on the upper
right-hand side on the instrument
panel next to the display.
57
 Instruments and controls
CWS-DISPLAY
Red warnings
When the contact is switched on,
some warning lamps and the
2 CWS-display illuminate and a buzzer
signal will sound briefly. The warning
lamp “STOP” illuminates continuously,
and the oil pressure symbol is
indicated in the display. The lamps will
remain illuminated as long the ignition
is not started, but the buzzer will turn
off.
Should the buzzer remain audible then
there is another fault.
When the oil pressure remains too low
after starting, or when another red
fault is present, this will then be
indicated in the CWS-display, the
warning lamp “STOP” will illuminate
and the buzzer will sound.
The operation of the CWS-display will
diminish in extremely low
temperatures. The warning symbols
will either appear more slowly in the
display or they will not appear at all.
58
When serious faults occur during
extremely low temperatures (after
starting the engine) then the warning
lamp “STOP” will illuminate and the
buzzer will sound.
If the “STOP” warning
lamp lights up and the
buzzer is audible while
driving, the vehicle must
immediately be stopped,
parked in a safe place and
the engine switched off.
When a red fault occurs this will be
indicated in the display, the lamp
“STOP” will illuminate and the buzzer
will be audible. A second fault will be
indicated in pulses. That signal has a
cycle of 4 pulses of 0.5 seconds with a
pause between pulses of 0.5 seconds.
The most important signal will be
indicated continuously after this signal.
The lamp “STOP” will also remain
illuminated and the buzzer will still be
audible.
Orange warnings
When orange warnings appear you
may continue driving but action must
be taken at the first opportunity to
remedy the fault.
The sequence of description is as
follows:
1. faults that can be dangerous for
the driver and/or other road users
2. faults that may endanger the
safety of the vehicle
3. faults that can result in damage
4. faults that do not result in damage
5. badly functioning with
consequences
6. badly functioning without
consequences
7. maintenance.

The vehicle has automatic coupling
heads which are used to connect up
the air pipes.
Connect the air pipes with these
connectors. These coupling heads
have safety lugs which make it
impossible to connect up the air pipes
incorrectly. The coupling heads on the
drawn vehicle must of course have
corresponding safety lugs. Should a
mistake nonetheless be made when

Conditions for activating the
engine speed control
Depending on the programming of the
electronic unit, there are two different
conditions for activation of the engine
speed control.
Condition 1
The engine speed control can be
activated if the parking brake is on and
the clutch is not depressed.
4 Note:
The accelerator pedal function is no
longer active after activation of the
engine speed control.
Condition 2
The engine speed control can be
activated, regardless of whether the
parking brake is on and the clutch is
not depressed.
98
Note:
The accelerator pedal function is still
active under this condition after
activation of the engine speed control.
In this way, it is possible to increase
the engine speed by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Under this condition, it is now possible
to drive the vehicle in engine speed
control.
The maximum vehicle speed is now
limited by the electronic unit to 9 km/h.
Switching off the engine speed

If the engine brake is no longer
operated, the engine speed control
is again active and the engine
speed is again raised to the
previous set value.
4. If the retarder function is active.
5. If the vehicle is driven with the
engine speed control and the
vehicle speed is higher than 16

SWITCH 16S GEARBOX
To avoid premature wear and a
burnt-out driven plate and clutch cover
assembly, drivers are strongly advised
to use only the lowest forward speed
or reverse gear when carrying out
shunting operations.
When driving on level roads, never
drive away when the vehicle is
loaded in a higher gear than the
2nd gear of the low group.
Try to stay in the green low-rev
range (600 to 800 rpm) whenever
possible.
On gradients, always drive away in

Driving
The gearboxes are synchromesh
units. When changing gear, it is
important to exert consistently steady
pressure on the gear lever until the
gear has engaged. The main gearbox
has four transmission ratios, which
have to be selected twice in two speed
ranges. A low speed range (1st to 4th A
gear) and a high speed range (5th to

DRIVING STYLE
The following recommendations result
in favourable economies without
adversely effecting the speed of the
vehicle (i.e. slowing down), with other
words: an efficient driving style.
Driving style in general
Some tips:
- Anticipate traffic and other
conditions; change down on time
(nil use) and do not press down
on the gas when it is not
necessary.
- With low loads on the engine, try
to stay in the green low-rev range
(1000 to 1100 rpm, crosshatched
green) whenever possible so that
very low fuel consumption figures
are achieved. Every kW output of
the engine in this engine speed
range at low loads uses the least
amount of fuel.
- At full load, thus at full gas, the XE
engine delivers the lowest use per
kW output at 1200 to 1300 rpm.
Driving style on level roads
Change up, for example, before
driving away on a flat road with a 40
tonne total weight.
- Begin in 2L, then 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L,
7H, 8L, 8H; and shift through the
entire range before approx.
1600 rpm, the half gears slightly
earlier at 1400 rpm.
- Try once at cruising speed to drive
as slow as possible in the green
engine speed range. For example:
60 km/hour at 1000 rpm.
Gradients
- Do not reduce more speed than is
necessary at the beginning of a
gradient.
Step off the throttle and change
down, if necessary, on time (i.e. at
approx. 1300 rpm).
Driving
- Pay attention to the rev counter,
and if the engine speed decreases
sharply then change down a whole
gear at approx. 1300 rpm, and if
the engine speed decreases
slowly then change down a half
gear.
When you know from experience
that changing down half a gear is
enough to get over the incline,
then change down this half gear
sooner. 4
- Change down until engine speed
is maintained at 1300 to 1400 or
more rpm. Do not change further
down if the engine speed
decreases quickly to below
1300 rpm to approx. 1100 rpm.
- As soon as the engine speed
increases on the incline, change
up a half gear at approx.
1500 rpm.
Depending on the steepness of
the incline, you can change down
at a lower engine speed; or
change up at a high engine speed.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
General
Differential locking is possible:
- On the rear axles(s): cross-axle
lock
- Between the rear axles: inter-axle
lock
Directions for use
The differential lock may only be used
when driving on soft ground or on a
4 slippery road surface, and never on
firm ground.
The differential lock should be
engaged:
- With the vehicle stationary or
moving very slowly
- With the clutch pedal depressed
The differential lock must never be
engaged while there is wheelspin on
one of the axles; always wait until the
wheel has stopped spinning before
engaging the differential lock.
The inter-axle lock should be used
first. If this does not prove effective,
the cross-axle lock should be
engaged, too.
Disengage the differential lock as soon
as you reach firm ground. If the
warning lamp stays on, drive forwards
and then reverse a short distance in
order to release the locking
mechanism.
TRACTION CONTROL MODE
Vehicles with air suspension
On vehicles with a trailing axle or a
second steered axle and ECAS, the
bellows pressure of this axle can be
reduced. As a result, the bellows
pressure of the driven axle will be
increased, so that load is transferred
from the non-driven to the driven axle.
This facility is operated via a switch on
the instrument panel. (In some
vehicles, the Traction control mode is
automatic, and there is no switch.)
This will be useful when Traction
control is required, for example when
pulling out from a slippery or muddy
place.
The Traction control mode can be
engaged up to a specified vehicle
speed and it is automatically
disengaged after a specified time or
as soon as a specified vehicle speed
is reached. After some time, the
Traction control mode can be
re-engaged.
The time required for switching on the
Traction control is dependent on
statutory requirements in the country
concerned.

104

Vehicles with air suspension
On leaf-sprung vehicles, the same
effect can be obtained by lifting the
trailing axle. The trailing axle lifting
gear is operated with a switch on the
instrument panel.
Note:
The lifted trailing axle will
automatically be lowered if the pre-set
maximum load of the driven axle is
exceeded. Lifting of the trailing axle
will subsequently be impossible.
STEERING
The steering gear is hydraulically
assisted. As excessive pressure may
damage the hydraulic pump, stop
turning the steering wheel when the
wheels are at full lock or are blocked
by an obstacle. There is otherwise a
good chance that the hydraulic pump
will be damaged.
Steering is also possible without
power assistance, but this requires
considerable effort.
Driving
DUAL CIRCUIT STEERING
SYSTEM
This system has two fully separate
hydraulic circuits.
In the event of loss of pressure in
circuit 1, the hydraulic assistance is
taken over by circuit 2.
If the warning lamp in the
CWS-display is illuminated, the oil
delivery is too low.
4
105
 Driving
ASR (skid control system)
ASR is an electronic, air pressure
controlled anti-skidding system
designed to prevent the driven wheels
skidding when accelerating.
That means the vehicle remains stable
when pulling away on critical road
surfaces (especially accelerating when
cornering). Accelerating with ASR
gives more traction in comparison to
accelerating with skidding wheels.
4 ASR is an addition to the ABS system.
ASR is only located on the driven
wheels.
106
When there is a danger of skidding on
one or both wheels, using a certain
setting one or both wheels will be
braked via a magnet valve and/or the
engine moment decreased. This
means that one or both wheels are
maintained within a narrow skidding
range close to the maximum frictional
coefficient, through which an optimum
traction is achieved.
When the ASR system is in use, the
orange ASR warning lamp will be
illuminated in the CWS-display See
also “CWS-display”.
BRAKES
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking
during an emergency stop or when
braking on a slippery road surface.
As a result, the driver retains full
control of the vehicle or combination
(provided that both the prime mover
and the drawn vehicle have ABS) and
directional stability is maintained.
Bear in mind that when the prime
mover is equipped with ABS but not
the drawn vehicle, or vice versa, the
directional stability and steering
characteristics will not be as good as
when both units are equipped with
ABS (but they will always be better
than on vehicle combinations with no
ABS at all).

ENGINE BRAKE
An exhaust brake is fitted as standard
on every XE engine as an engine
brake. As an option, the XE engine
cab be fitted with a Daf Engine Brake
(DEB). This engine brake is a
combination of exhaust brake (the
butterfly valve behind the
turbocharger) + engine brake (DEB).
If the DEB is fitted, the exhaust brake
4 cannot be used separately.
The engine brake is primarily intended
for use in prolonged braking, for
example when decelerating from high
speed on a level road or when driving
downhill. This reduces service brake
wear.
108
When using the engine brake, adjust
your gear selection so that the engine
speed remains in the most favourable
range.
The engine brake is automatically
switched off:
- if the engine speed falls below
800 rpm or at a vehicle speed
lower than 3 km/h
- If the ABS system has ascertained

vehicle speed must be lower than
3 km/h.
The braking effect decreases as the
engine speed falls.
The most beneficial area range for the
engine brake is between 2000 and
2400 rpm (the blue crossed-hatched
area of the rev counter). The engine
brake exerts the highest braking effect
in this area.

RETARDER (ZF Intarder/Voith
retarder)
The vehicle can be fitted with a ZF
Intarder or a Voith Retarder.
The operation of both retarders is
identical.
The retarder is operated in steps by
means of an operating lever on the
control panel.
This lever has 4 positions regulating
the braking effort of the retarder, plus
a zero-position.
Position 1 = V-constant function.
When the retarder is switched on in
position 1, then the retarder will
ensure that the vehicle speed will not
exceed the speed at the moment
when it was switched on.
Caution: in position 1; the “V-constant
function”, the maximum braking effect
is also possible under certain
conditions, e.g. on long descents.
If the green warning lamp at the top of
the instrument panel illuminates, the
retarder is activated.
The retarder is a wear-resistant,
hydraulic operating continuous brake.
It is primarily intended for use in
prolonged braking, for example when
decelerating from high speed on a
level road or when driving downhill.
This reduces service brake wear.
Driving
The division of the maximum braking
effect of the ZF Intarder is as follows:
Position 0: the retarder is not active.
Position 1: V-constant control, 0 to
100% brake torque.
Position 2: approx. 33% of the
maximum braking effect.
Position 3: approx. 66% of the
maximum braking effect.
Position 4: the maximum braking
effect (approx. 3000 Nm).
The division of the maximum braking
4
effect of the Voith retarder is as
follows:
Position 0: the retarder is not active.
Position 1: V-constant control, 0 to
100% brake torque.
Position 2: approx. 40% of the
maximum braking effect.
Position 3: approx. 70% of the
maximum braking effect.
Position 4: the maximum braking
effect (approx. 4000 Nm).
109
 Driving
A retarder cannot be used
as a parking brake. The
retarder does not exert
any braking power at
idling or low speeds.
Use the retarder for
prolonged braking, for
example when driving
downhill. Use the brake
pedal for relatively short
4 braking operations. This
will prevent overheating of
the wheel brakes.
Try to avoid overheating
on long downhill slopes
by not moving the lever
further than position 2 or
3.
Caution! Maximum
braking effect is also
possible in position 1!
110
When driving an unladen
vehicle without ABS, it is
safer to use only positions
1 and 2.
Caution! Maximum
braking effect is also
possible in position 1!
When ABS is in use, the
retarder will be switched
off for as long as ABS is in
operation.
Reduce the use of the retarder braking
force as road conditions deteriorate.
Although the wheels will not easily
lock, there may be a danger of
skidding.
After using the retarder, make sure the
lever is put back properly in position 0,
for even if the lever is only slightly
removed from this position, the
retarder will remain engaged. This will
cause unnecessary generation of heat
and loss of power.
Intensive use of a Voith retarder may
cause the warning lamp on the
instrument panel to start flashing. This
means that the coolant temperature
has become too high. The retarder will
automatically change down to a lower
value and the braking effect will be
reduced.
Select a gear which ensures that the
engine speed will not fall below
approx. 1500 rpm, so that sufficient
cooling is guaranteed.
For better brake function, the exhaust
brake (butterfly valve) can be used in
combination with the ZF Intarder or
Voith retarder. Keep the engine speed
high.

D000273
STOPPING
Parking
- Pull the parking brake lever back
as far as possible, then move it up
(overcoming spring action) and
pull it further back.
Make sure that the lever
perceptibly engages the locked
position.
- Press the parking brake lever in
and pull it further back (the test
position: the brakes of the drawn
vehicle are now released) and
check whether the vehicle
combination remains in place.
- Place chocks in front and behind
the wheels.
- Angle the front wheels so that the
vehicle will not move into the traffic
stream if it is accidentally set in
motion.
If the vehicle combination does not
remain in place in the test position,
find a less steep place to park the
vehicle.
Always carry out this test if the vehicle
is parked in unfavourable
circumstances (gradient, slippery road
surface, etc.).
In this way, the combination will be
safely parked, even if air leakage
makes the drawn vehicle brakes
ineffective.
Driving
Switching off the engine
Put the gear lever in “neutral” when
the vehicle is stationary.
Before switching off the engine after a
long trip or when the engine has
been subjected to high loading, let
it run at idling speed for at least
5 minutes.
It is important to let the engine run for
a while amongst others in order to
prevent the coolant temperature
getting too hot and to allow the 4
turbocharger to cool down.
The engine can be switched off by
turning the contact key in position St
(rest position).

At extremely low temperatures a
maximum of 20% petroleum

However, if this is PROHIBITED BY
LAW, a maximum of 20% lead-free
petrol may be added.
Note:
Additives which are used to prevent
wax deposits have a purely
preventive effect. They cannot
dissolve the paraffin crystals once
they have been precipitated.
Always carry a spare element for the
main fuel filter on the vehicle so that
you can replace it quickly if it becomes
blocked in any way (for example, by
paraffin crystals).
Always preferably fill-up in the
evenings to avoid (especially in winter)

“Bleeding the fuel system”.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
During bleeding of the fuel
system, fuel will escape.
1 This fuel must be
collected, bearing in mind
the risk of fire.
Dirt in the fuel system can
lead to significant damage
to pump units and
housing.
1. Open the bleed screw (1) on the
filter body.
2 2. Pump fuel out of the bleed screw
with the hand pump (2) until no
more air bubbles are visible in the
fuel.
3. Close the bleed screw (1).
4. If only the filter is replaced and
bled, the engine will usually catch
on straight away.

5. Check for leaks.
6. If necessary, tighten the filter by
hand.
Emergency repairs
Bleeding the fuel system after the
fuel tank has run dry
1. Place a tray beneath the filter to
collect any escaping fuel.
2. Open the bleed screw (1) on the
filter body.
3. Pump fuel out of the bleed screw
with the hand pump (2) until no
more air bubbles are visible in the
fuel.
4. Close the bleed screw (1).
5. Start the engine: after " 1 minute
of continual starting, the engine
will run on its own on 1 to 2
cylinders.
6. After " 1.5 minutes of irregular
running, the other cylinders will
start and the motor will run
regularly. 6

128
CHANGING THE WHEEL
Note:
After changing a wheel/tyre, the
difference between the diameters of
the various tyres on the vehicle may
have become too large (for example,
as a result of differences in tread
depth and/or tyre pressure).
The ABS system cannot cope with
too much difference in tyre
diameter and the system will
automatically be disengaged. The
orange ABS warning lamp will
come on.
Depending on the tyre types on the
front and rear axle, this phenomenon
pumped up 2 bar too little. So first
check the tyre pressure if the warning
lamp illuminates after a tyre has been
replaced.
Under extreme conditions, no ABS
control will be carried out!
This is the reason why the maximum
permitted difference in tyre diameter
for new tyres is 14%.
(This may occur when different tyre
sizes are fitted on the front or rear
axles.)
When removing a wheel
with a cracked or damaged
wheel rim, always deflate
the tyre (remove the tyre
valve) in view of possible
tensions in the wheel rim.
General
- Only use the original DAF wheel
rims specified for the vehicle
concerned.
- Make sure that tyres of the same
type are fitted on both sides of the
axle.
 Emergency repairs
- Insufficient cleaning of the mating
surfaces and/or uneven tightening
of the wheel nuts may cause
vibrations during driving or
braking.
Note:
If a wheel stud is renewed, the other
wheel studs on the relevant wheel
must also be renewed.

2. Connect the tyre inflating hose.
3. Inflate the tyres while the engine is
running and with maximum
pressure in the air reservoirs.
132
Note:
The entire air pressure system of the
vehicle can be filled with air from an
outside source via the tyre inflating
connection.
Note the correct system pressure
when doing this. See “Air pressure
meter”.
LEAKAGE FROM AIR
SUSPENSION
If one of the air suspension bellows
becomes defective, the supply pipes
to both bellows on the axle
concerned must be disconnected.
Plug these pipes to prevent the
escape of a substantial amount of the
compressed air from the reservoirs,
which is also needed for the operation
of the brakes. The air can be released
from the bellows by pressing the
“chassis lowering” button on the
remote control, if the vehicle is
equipped with electronic height
adjustment.
TOWING
It is possible to install a towing
provision behind the grille.
Always use a towing bar when towing.
Departure from this rule is only
allowed in emergency situations.
During towing, the message “Engine
management system fault” may
appear in the CWS display when the
contact is on.
Note:
The maximum permissible vehicle
speed, weight and distance varies
per country.
Do not start to tow with the trailer
coupled, or a full load.
Towing another vehicle
The maximum permitted weight of a
vehicle towed with the towing
provision is 40 tonnes.

Tractors may be fitted with a small
towing hook at the rear end of the
chassis. This towing hook must only
be used for light shunting work (max.
10 tonnes).
Being towed by another vehicle
CAUTION!
The towed vehicle can be located
ASYMMETRIC (left or right) behind
the towing vehicle.
Towing may not take place under
an angle larger than 20° with the
vehicle axis.
- Place the key of the
steering/contact in a position
where the steering wheel is
released (unless the vehicle is in a
hoist. See below).
- To prevent damage to the
gearbox, the propeller shaft must
always be disconnected from the
differential.
- If there is insufficient pressure in
the air reservoirs, release the
parking brake. See “Releasing the
parking brake”.
Emergency repairs
If the differential is damaged:
- Hoist the vehicle at the rear end,
and lock the steering wheel.
- In vehicles without oil-lubricated
rear hubs, the axle shaft can be
removed on both sides.
Tow starting
If the vehicle has to be towed to start
the engine, the starter key must first
be turned clockwise to position M of

The antifreeze mixture may be left in the cooling system during the summer
months.
The concentration of antifreeze should be maintained in order to protect
against damage such as corrosion, for example.
If temperatures never fall below +5°C, it is sufficient to add a
corrosion-inhibiting agent to the water.

 Technical data
Checking the tyre pressures
Tyre pressures depend on axle load and tyre size.

Tyre pressure table*

- The tyre pressures shown in the table apply to cold tyres.
- Unnecessary tyre wear is frequently caused by vehicle operation with
tyre pressures which do not match the axle load.
- When twin wheels are fitted:
- both tyres must be inflated to the same pressure;
- the tread depth must be practically the same on both wheels.

* The recommended tyre pressures and corresponding axle loads in the

above table are for normal operating conditions. For all other cases,
refer to the specifications of the tyre manufacturer.

IDENTITY CARD
Every vehicle has an identity card
which can be used to identify the
components and individual parts used
in the construction of the vehicle.
Subsequent modifications to the
vehicle should therefore be recorded
on the identity card.
