Driver assist systems
NOTE: No programming is needed when;
– a tyre is replaced but the wheel is fitted back to the original position
and/or
– if the (ex work fitted) spare wheel is used. Remark: For this to
function the wheel changed needs to stay with the vehicle. If the
changed wheel is left behind (f.e., in the workshop), programming is
needed.
– when sensors are replaced.
NOTE: TPM is not available on all vehicle types.
8.14 VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
8.14.1 Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
The VSC system 'Vehicle Stability Control' helps the driver to stabilise the vehicle
combination in critical driving situations. If a critical driving situation arises when making
turns, for example when the vehicle slips or might turn over, VSC intervenes by
reducing the engine torque and activating the brake system.
NOTE: A vehicle that is equipped with VSC may unexpectedly brake hard
in certain situations.
When the VSC system intervenes, the VSC warning indicator starts
flashing on the instrument panel.
When the VSC warning indicator remains on, the system has a fault.
Have service performed by the nearest DAF Service dealer.
WARNING!
– Do not adapt the driving style to the knowledge of having VSC
control.
'Vehicle Stability Control' control does not release the driver from the
obligation to adapt the driving style to the traffic and road surface
conditions. It is not a guarantee against instability; it helps the driver
in unexpected difficult situations, but physical limits remain. VSC
control cannot offset the results of driving too close to the vehicle in
front or taking a bend at too high a speed. Ignoring these matters can
lead to very dangerous situations (like a collision or vehicle turn over)
for the driver but also for other road users.
