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.
