situations resulting in serious injury and damage to the vehicle.
– Re-torque the wheel nuts after 100 km, after a wheel change or if the
wheel nuts have been loosened.
– If new wheel studs are fitted, the nuts need additional re-torquing
after 500 km.
NOTE: If a wheel stud is replaced, check the other wheel studs on the
relevant wheel hub, and if necessary, replace the other wheel studs.
Check the wheel nut of the replaced wheel stud. If in doubt, replace the
wheel nut.

Wheel nuts for all wheels (except 17.5
inch wheel on non-steered front axle) 700 Nm

NOTE: After replacing a wheel, have the wheel nuts torqued to the correct
tightening torque by a DAF Service dealer.

To check the connection, tighten the nut to the specified inspection torque. The nut

14.1.5 Tyres
WARNING! Driving with tyres that are not specified for the vehicle or
have incorrect pressures can lead to dangerous situations and serious
injury. Incorrect tyre pressures can lead to unnecessary tyre wear, tyre
damage or even a blowout. Too low tyre pressures also have a
negative influence on the fuel consumption.
– Only use the specified tyre types. Consult a DAF Service dealer or
a tyre dealer for more information about tyres.
– Make sure that the tyre pressures correspond to the axle loads and
are regularly checked.
