Inspections and maintenance
Master display
– Do not use alcohol-based cleaners or windscreen cleaners to clean the lens of the
master display.
– Use a soft cotton or linen rag and clear or mild soapy water to clean the master
display.
Seats and safety belts
– Dirt can impair the way in which the seat functions. It is therefore important to keep
the seat clean! Do not remove the upholstery from the seat when cleaning the seat.
– When cleaning the upholstery, do not allow it to become soaked.
– Before using standard upholstery or plastic cleaning agents, test for compatibility
on a small, concealed area.
– High-pressure cleaning equipment must not be used to clean the seat or safety
belts.
– Clean the safety belts with an all-purpose cleaner, avoiding the use of caustic
substances.
Cleaning the cabin exterior
The external paintwork of the cabin is subject to attack by corrosive substances, for
example road salt, grit and polluted air.
The paintwork must therefore be cleaned regularly.
When cleaning the cabin, make sure that:
– No caustic cleaners are used.
– No hard brushes are used.
– All seams, gaps and door shut-lines are thoroughly cleaned.
It is advisable to clean the paintwork using DAF shampoo.
Cleaning the windscreen
Depending on the vehicle type, a cleansing rod with sponge and wiper for cleaning the
windscreen may be present in the storage compartment.
Slide out the rod to the length needed and use the rod to clean the windscreen.
When cleaning the windscreen, make sure that:
– The windscreen wipers are removed from the windscreen.
– No hard brushes are used.
– Use the wiper to wipe the windscreen dry and improve visibility.
It is advisable to clean the windscreen using DAF shampoo.
Cleaning the head- and fog light lenses
Never use hard or sharp objects to clean the lenses of the head- and fog light.
This can damage the UV coating of the lenses causing them to change colour.
Do not aim the jet of a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner directly at the head- and
fog light lenses.
