WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS SO IMPORTANT!
This handbook contains the information which you, the driver, need for optimum
efficiency, safety and comfort when operating this vehicle.
Besides giving instructions about operation and use, it also pays attention to
maintenance and minor repairs which you may be able to carry out yourself.
For more serious problems, DAF has its own service organisation in Europe:
International Truck Service (ITS). For drivers stranded abroad, the ITS switchboard in
Eindhoven (the Netherlands) is only a phone call away. It is manned 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, to provide assistance to limit the downtime of the vehicle to a
minimum.
To make use of the services of ITS (and to find out under which conditions ITS services
are available), please see the European Service Network directory.
