Inspections and maintenance
Never use cleaners with high pH (alkaline) or caustic properties or disinfection fluids
containing hypochlorite. If administered incorrectly, they can cause an irreversible
effect on or damage to the head- and fog light lenses.
Waxing the cabin
The paintwork of new vehicles is waxed to protect it against the elements.
After a time this wax coating wears as a result of cleaning and other external influences.
To give corrosive substances less chance of attacking the paint, protect the paintwork
with a new wax coating at least twice a year.
It is advisable to wax the cabin using DAF wax.
A DAF Service dealer can provide advice about additional anti-rust treatment and
maintenance of the paintwork when the vehicle is in service.
5.2.4 Bug screen
To prevent contamination of the
radiator and/or condenser there is a
bug screen positioned in front of the
radiator or condenser.
For cleaning it is possible to click the
frame at the upper side out of the fixing
points.
NOTE: Use of this bug
screen depends on the
vehicle configuration.
5.2.5 Auxiliary heater
If necessary, install a separate fuel tank for the auxiliary heater.
If the tank has been filled up with winter diesel, allow the auxiliary heater to run on the
new fuel for half an hour. Make sure that all the old fuel is used up.
NOTE: Let the auxiliary heater run when the engine is cold. This prevents
the Cabin Climate Control to first use the rest-heat function.
The above recommendations apply to both air and water heating and to all vehicle
types.
