A-2 Foreword

General usage instructions for commercial vehicles

If you are a professional driver using your own vehicle, or a haulier entrusting one of your
vehicles to a member of your staff, it is essential to follow and ensure the application of the
following instructions. They are only a reminder of the basics of the trade and standard pro-
fessional practice and in no way are to be taken as exhaustive. In this way you will obtain
the maximum profit from your material and prevent any risk of accidents and incidents.

1. A few basic instructions

– Every driver must possess all necessary licences and should only drive when physical-

ly fit and sufficiently rested.

– The vehicle must be in conformity with current legislation in the country or countries

in which it is used.
– Any signs indicating hazardous substances must be affixed and be in good condition.
– Loads:

• All-up or per-axle weights (regulatory or technical) must not be exceeded.

• Loading and securing of loads must be carried out using conventional procedures,
tarpaulins and side curtains must be correctly stretched and fastened and doors and
sideboards locked, etc...

– In the cab:

• Never carry dangerous products (such as petroleum, trichlorethylene, thinner,
etc.).

• If an animal is carried, it must be kept away from the driving position.

– Getting in and out of the vehicle:

• Use the steps and the handles provided. Never jump down from the vehicle. When
leaving the vehicle, observe the traffic flow, particularly if you have been driving
for a long time.

• Take extra care when the climatic conditions are bad (rain, snow, ice) and at night.

– USE IN CLOSED PREMISES:

• NEVER LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING IN CLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED

PREMISES. THE EXHAUST GASES CONTAINED EXTREMELY TOXIC CON-

STITUENTS. THEIR CONCENTRATION MAY HAVE VERY SERIOUS EFFECTS

ON YOUR HEALTH.

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

A-3 Foreword

2. Before getting into the vehicle, check:

– General condition of your vehicle, visually (as per handbook);
– Tyre condition, tyre pressures (including the spare wheel), and that nothing is jammed

between the twin wheels;

– Cleanliness of cab windows, rearview mirrors, headlights and other lights and number

plates;
– Regulatory and optional lighting systems for correct operation;
– Semi-trailer and/or trailer for correct coupling (hook, brake hoses - colour coding -

electrical connector...);
– For the presence and contents of the onboard tool kit;
– In winter, for the presence of anti-skid chains and that they are securely fastened;
– Vehicles equipped with side guard panels and beams should be permanently provided

with this equipment. At the time of removal, make sure that the locks are correctly

locked and tighten the setscrews moderately.

3. In the cab

– Check the condition of the non-slip foot pedal covers.
– Ensure that the safety controls (steering wheel, foot pedals, gear lever etc...) are never

cleaned with a slippery product like silicone).
– Adjust your driving position:

• Steering wheel: check that the steering column is locked.

• Seat: check that the seat is firmly locked.

• Rearview mirrors.

• Seat belt: it is compulsory to wear one, so buckle up.

• Onboard children: comply with the laws in force.
– Before starting the engine: ensure that the gear lever is properly in neutral.
– Check that all instrument panel indications are normal (if you are not certain of what

the nominal readings are supposed to be, refer to the Driving & Servicing Handbook.

Analogue tachograph

– Check that the tachograph chart is in place in the tachograph unit and that the unit is

working properly.

Digital tachograph

– Check that the driver's tachograph chart 1 is in place in the tachograph tray.

If there is a 2

nd

driver, Check that his tachograph chart is in place in the tachograph
tray 2.
Check that the tachograph unit is working properly.

A-4 Foreword

4. When driving

– If you detect any anomaly in the way the vehicle is operating, stop and locate the mal-

function.
Do not move off again until you are sure that the incident has not impaired technical
performance and safety.

– When driving, the use of some of the standard-fitted equipment, and other optional or

added equipment is strictly forbidden (i.e. hand-operated sun-roofs, television sets,
etc...) or only permitted if all necessary precautions are taken so as not to affect road
safety (cigar lighter, manual selection of radio stations, CB, onboard telephone...).

– Adapt your driving style to suit your load (cant or bend, if the centre of gravity is high,

etc...) to take account of weather conditions and the time of day.
If necessary, adjust the headlight beam levels.

– Never shut down the engine when the vehicle is moving (as this will cut off the supply

to the power-assisted steering system and could decrease brake effectiveness).

5. When parking

– Check that the vehicle is correctly parked (i.e. that it does not obstruct traffic flow or

threaten the security of neighbouring installations).

– If the vehicle is going to remain stationary for some time, use one or more wheel

chocks to prevent it from moving (e.g. semi-trailer compressed air leakage, or in black
ice conditions...).

– Check that:

• The parking brake is locked and immobilizes the road train or rig.

• The gear lever is in neutral.

• The battery isolating switch is open (turned off).

• The electromagnetic retarder is switched off.

• The air vents are not blocked (if an independent heater is used).

• The parking lights are switched on at night.

– Check that you have not left in the cab:

• important documents (personal, vehicle, load).

• unaccompanied animals.

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

A-5 Foreword

6. When repairing / servicing the vehicle

Prior to carrying out any work on the electronic air suspension (other than
calibration), place axle stands under the chassis.

– Check the tightness of the wheel nuts according to recommendations.
– Prior to tilting the cab:

• Ensure there is enough necessary space available in front of the vehicle.

• Set the limits of a safety perimeter around the cab inside which you must pay
attention that nobody tries to cross that area or park in it, not only during the cab
tilting operations but also when the cab is fully tilted.

• Stop the engine, put the gear lever into neutral and make sure that no object is like-
ly to fall onto the windscreen. If a refrigerator is fitted, drain it. Close the doors.

• Tilt the cab as far as possible. If the cab is only partially tilted, wedge it to prevent
accidental movement.

– If the engine is running:

• Do not approach moving parts (fan, drive belts, etc...).

• Do not turn off the electrical power supply (shut down the engine first).

– When climbing up onto or down from the ramp behind the cab (tractor), use the steps

and grab handles provided. Never jump down from the ramp. Take care not to burn
yourself (on the vertical exhaust pipe and silencer).

– Fuel is inflammable: if the fuel filler cap is open, smoking is forbidden and there must

be no naked flame in the vicinity.

– Batteries are filled with acids, which can cause serious injuries. They must be handled

with great care.

– If you start the engine using an external power source:

• Use cables of the correct dimensions.

• Make sure that the + and - polarities are connected properly.

– When changing a fuse, it is vital to use another fuse of the same size.
– Only specialists should install additional power lines.
– The installation of additional air lines requires a technical study carried out or

approved by the manufacturer.
– It is strictly forbidden to heat polyamide hoses (braking circuit pipes).
– Raising the vehicle with a jack. chock the wheels prior to jacking.
– Immobilizing the vehicle: use one or several wheel chocks as necessary.
– Wheels and tyres:

• Never check tyre pressures or inflate or deflate a tyre, which is hot.

• Never stand in front of a tyre when checking the pressure or inflating it.

• When fitting a roadwheel, take great care to centre wheels fitted with centring
clamps (for trilex wheels, position the clamp at the segment crossover point).

A-6 Foreword

– Repairs on the open road: collect the fluids, which have been drained (such as oil, fuel,

coolant...).

– With an eye to environmental protection, take into consideration the laws in force

(recovery of oil / anti-freeze / cartridges).
When draining oils (engine / gearbox / drive axles), you run the risk of burning yourself (hot
oil).
When draining coolant, you run the risk of burning yourself (hot fluid).

– Independent heater: use motor vehicle diesel fuel only.
– If anti-skid chains are used, the rear wings should be removed, road speed should be

reduced and chain tension should be tested at regular intervals.

Any modification to circuits (electrical, electronic or compressed air) may have serious
consequences. Such work should only be undertaken in agreement with the manufac-
turer. RENAULT TRUCKS decline any responsibility in the event of non-conformity
in assembly.

In the event of remote control malfunction,
you can disable the alarm by turning the
ignition key to the "ignition" position (3).
After that, it is necessary to re-synchronize
the remote control with the alarm by activat-
ing and de-activating the system once more.

If there is an attempt at theft of the vehicle or its
freight, the siren sounds after the alarm has
been disabled. It is possible to find out what
kind of intrusion has been perpetuated by
means of the message and the pictogram (G36)
shown on the information display.

The message and the pictogram are erased when the ignition is switched on, with the ignition
key in position (3).

Cab tilting

NEVER TILT THE CAB WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

Before restarting the engine, check:

– Cab raised: that the gear lever is in

neutral.

– Cab lowered: that the gearshift linkage is

locked, after checking that all gears shift
correctly.

When working underneath the cab (on the
engine, etc...), the cab must be fully tilted.
Any work on the cab tilt hydraulic system
requires strict observance of the safety instruc-
tions and should therefore be carried out by a
RENAULT TRUCKS service point or dealer.

"ADR" master switch (transport of dangerous materials)

Use of the ADR battery isolating switch

Several parameters are involved:

– ignition key inserted in ignition switch,
– chassis exterior switch,
– cab interior switch,
– following electrical consumers:

• side/parking lights,

• hazard lights,

• suspension,

• independent heating.

Operation

Cab interior switch (B4)

Chassis exterior switch (2)

Switch type operation

The battery isolating switch can be operated by
means of switch (B4) or (2).
If either of the two switches is actuated, it is es-
sential for the key to be put back into the igni-
tion switch and for the those switches to be in
the "ON" position to close the battery isolating
switch.
The "ADR" battery isolating switch serves to
supply electrical power to the vehicle if neither
of the two switches is actuated by the driver.
If either of the two switches is actuated, the
"ADR" battery isolating switch cuts the electri-
cal power supply to the vehicle and the engine
stops automatically.

B1-28 Presentation

Operation by insertion of ignition key in ignition switch

With the "ADR" battery isolating switch in the position for supplying electrical power to the
vehicle (switches (B4) - (1) not actuated and ignition key inserted in ignition switch): if the
driver takes the ignition key out of the ignition switch and if none of the electrical consumers
quoted earlier is in operation, the "ADR" battery isolating switch cuts the electrical power
supply to the vehicle after a period of 20 minutes.
The electrical power supply will be restored to the vehicle when the ignition key is inserted
into the ignition switch. If the driver’s door is locked by the door key, unlock it with that key.

Description:

The multi-function information display is di-
vided into 5 distinct zones.

Zone (1)

Zone displaying active function pictograms
and present faults.
When you activate a new function or if a fault
appears on the vehicle, the pictogram symbol-
izing the function or fault is first of all dis-
played in zone (2) for 15 seconds. Then, it is
displayed in zone (1).
Any action on control (AF) is displayed direct-
ly in zone (1).

The function pictograms are aligned starting on the left and the fault pictograms are aligned
starting on the right.

Zone (2)

This is the main information display zone. Here, the different menus are displayed.
When the ignition is switched on:

– If the engine is not started immediately, the oil level is displayed for a few seconds

(see page C-2-2).

– The pictograms connected with the auto-test are displayed for a few seconds (see page

C2-5).

– Once the previously mentioned controls have finished their action, the "supplementary

driving information" menu is displayed.
When you activate a new function or if a fault appears, the pictogram and the related text
are displayed for a moment in this zone, then the active menu before manipulation or
appearance of the fault is displayed again. The pictogram is then displayed in zone (1).
Any action on control (AF) is displayed in zone (1).

When zone (1) is full, the following pictograms are displayed in succession every 3 seconds in
zone (2).

Supplementary driving information

Using control (AF) (see page B-2-30), ), it is possible to display different information items
in succession, that can amount to 6 in total and vary depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment.
The display of this information is time-delayed when the ignition is switched on, with the
engine running or shutdown, and when the vehicle is not moving.
As soon as the vehicle moves off, if you select an information item, it remains permanently
displayed.

1– Cumulated driving time.

Cumulated rest time.
The cumulated rest time is incremented after a period of 15 minutes of rest or avail-
ability at a stretch.
The cumulated driving time displayed on the instrument panel corresponds to the
effective vehicle running time (speed different from 0 km/h).
Brief stops, due to traffic, are automatically deducted.
This information is reset to zero:

• when the tachograph chart tray is closed,

• when driving or working is resumed after 45 minutes of accumulated rest.

The times displayed are given for guidance purposes. Only information recorded on the chart
has any legal value.

2– Partial mileage (in km).

Average road speed.
This information is reset to zero by pressing control (AF) and keeping it depressed for
more than 15 seconds.

3– Instant fuel consumption in litres per 100 km.

Average fuel consumption in litres per 100 km.
The instant fuel consumption is given for guidance purposes - it may reach substantial
proportions during acceleration or when moving off, but it is not significant of the
vehicle's average fuel consumption.

4– Total engine operating hourmeter.

Engine operating hourmeter with vehicle stationary.

5– Battery voltage.

Engine oil pressure.

6– Date.

Vehicle road speed in the unit you have not chosen for the instrument panel
speedometer (U) (mph or km/h).

Quick defrosting ("Warm hold" feature)

This device speeds up the defrosting function.
With the vehicle stationary, for an ambient temperature below 5°C and a coolant tempera-
ture below 70°C, after a time-delay that is variable according to ambient temperature and
engine temperature, a device holds the engine at the idling speed of that moment and actu-
ates the exhaust brake so as to quickly raise temperature of the engine cooling system.
This function is disabled when the cooling system temperature reaches 70°C, then reactivat-
ed as soon as the circuit temperature drops below 50°C.

Conditions permitting the "WARM HOLD" function

– ambient temperature below 5°C,
– coolant temperature below 70°C,
– road speed below 3 km/h,
– no PTOs active.

Conditions preventing the "Warm hold" function

– ambient temperature above 5°C,
– coolant temperature above 70°C,
– road speed above 3 km/h,
– action on the accelerator pedal,
– activation of a PTO,
– vehicle with OPTIDRIVER 2 gearbox, changeover from (N) (neutral) to (D).

If the parking brake is not applied, the "warm hold" function can only be activated after a
time-delay of 150 seconds.
