AUTOMATIC GEARBOXES

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 the gearbox to
shifting in 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.
By this means, the engine cooling system can
try to cool the gearbox oil.
If after approximately two minutes the warning
lamp has not gone out, the engine must be
turned off and the nearest DAF dealer
contacted.
Use of the engine brake
When the engine brake is operated in third or
higher gear, the ECU will change down to
second gear as soon as the engine speed
permits, 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, this 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.
