Driving
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a manual gearbox, depress the
clutch pedal and put the gear change lever in neutral. Vehicles with
manual gearboxes do not start when the gearbox is not in the neutral
position.
Never start the vehicle when the gear change lever is folded backward.
NOTE: Vehicles with automated gearboxes do not start when the rotary
switch is not in neutral (N).
A flashing N appears in the master display and an acoustic signal is
audible when the rotary switch is not in position N when starting.
If a '-' symbol appears in the master display, the system is not available
and it is not possible to drive off. In this case, switch off the ignition for at
least five seconds and switch it on again. If the '-' symbol still appears,
contact a DAF Service dealer.
8. Without pressing the accelerator pedal down, turn the ignition key to position S (D)
until the engine starts. Release the key after 10 seconds if the engine does not start.
Then wait 10 seconds and try again.
NOTE: If starting of the engine exceeds a certain period of time, the
starter motor is deactivated. A system warning pops up on the master
display. After a certain waiting period, it is possible to restart the engine.
NOTE: No oil pressure warning is visible on the master display. If the
engine is running, the engine speed cannot be increased by pressing the
accelerator pedal when the engine has no oil pressure.
NOTE: If Engine Speed Control is fitted as an option, one of various engine
speeds can be selected with the steering wheel switch, if so desired.
The engine speed can also be increased with the right-hand steering column
switch or the switch on the steering wheel.
Before driving away, check that the central warning indicator is not on and that no red
system warnings are active.
During cold ambient conditions, the engine may sound different after a cold engine start
due to a different fuel injection strategy.
