Gearbox oil temperature
If when driving the gearbox warning lamp lights
up in the main display, this may mean that the
gearbox oil has reached the maximum
temperature of 121
″C.
In this situation, the ECU limits gearbox shifting to
the first four gears.
It is important to drive to a safe place as soon as
possible and let the engine idle in neutral at an
increased idling speed.
As a result, the cooling system of the engine will
try to cool the gearbox oil.
If after approximately two minutes the warning in
the master display has not disappeared, the
engine must be turned off and contact made with
the nearest DAF dealer.
Use of the engine brake
When the engine brake is operated in third or a
higher gear, the ECU will change down to second
gear as soon as the engine speed permits so as
to get the maximum braking effect from the
engine brake.
On the selector display, the second gear selected
by the ECU is displayed.
Towing the vehicle
To tow the vehicle, the prop shaft must be
detached at the rear axle.
It is also possible to remove the axle shafts. As oil
can be lost in this process, it must be avoided as
much as possible owing to environmental
concerns.
Towing the vehicle without taking
the above into consideration may
lead to serious damage to the
gearbox.

2. DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
2.1 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX SELECTOR KEYPAD
The selector has the following functions:
-
activating and deactivating the gearbox
-
choosing a shift program
-
reading the oil level
-
reading and deleting fault codes
The selector has the following six keys:
Neutral position
No gear is activated in the "N" position. The
vehicle is not locked in this position and can
therefore roll.
Use the parking brake to lock the vehicle.
"N" appears on the display.
Automatic forward drive
If the "D" position is selected, the vehicle will
immediately begin to move (if the brake system is
at pressure and the vehicle is not on the parking
brake). It is therefore advisable to depress the
brake pedal before selecting position "D". In this
position, the gearbox can automatically change
up to the highest gear.
The highest gear that the gearbox can change up
to is shown on the display.
Reverse
If position "R" is chosen, the vehicle will also be
immediately set in motion. First depress the
brake pedal and then select position "R". "R"
appears on the display.

Shift program selection
By pressing the "MODE" key briefly once,
another shift program can be selected from a
stationary as well as a driving position. Two
selections are possible:
Normal program
This program is chosen automatically when the
vehicle ignition has been switched off. No report
is displayed. This program allows the gearbox to
shift gears as and when necessary so that driving
at higher speeds is possible. This can be
desirable on unpaved terrain.
Economy program
The LED lights up on the selector display. This
program will in general change gear at somewhat
lower engine speeds. This results in more
economical fuel consumption.
√ Shifting down
After selecting the "D" key and when the vehicle
is driving, this key can be used to keep the
gearbox in a lower gear. The selected gear is
shown in the display. The gearbox will not change
up further until the "
™" or "D" key is pressed. The
number of gears that can be used will appear in
the display.
™ Shifting up
This key is used to change up to a higher gear.
However, this is only possible after previously
selecting to stay in a low gear.
