This manual has been created to assist the first responders in identifying and responding to vehicles equipped with a DAF electrical driveline. The DAF electrical vehicle uses high-voltage AC to power an electric motor. High- voltage battery packs stores energy until it is required to power the vehicle.
Page 12
Introduction WARNING! The battery cells inside the high-voltage batteries contain electrolyte. Electrolyte is a toxic fluid. Physical contact can lead to serious health problems. – Avoid physical contact with electrolyte leaking from the batteries. – If there is contact with the eyes: rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

Introduction increased brake pedal force and ultimately leads to automatic engagement of the park brake. This can lead to very dangerous situations. – Release the park brake and adapt the driving style of the towing combination.
Vehicle identification 2.1 IDENTIFICATION Vehicle The (Battery) Electric Vehicle is identified by a badge, 'Electric', on the outside of the vehicle. High-voltage components All high-voltage components are labelled with the 'high-voltage' symbol. D005275...

Vehicle identification WARNING! The Electric Vehicle is equipped with high-voltage components and wiring. Not following these instructions can result in severe personal injury or death. – Only work on an Electric Vehicle when the high-voltage circuit is isolated. See procedure 'Shutting down high-voltage circuit'. WARNING! Avoid contact with the high-voltage components and the orange cables with their connectors until the high-voltage circuit has been shut down.

Vehicle identification High-voltage wiring – The vehicle has orange high- voltage cables (5), which is connected to the high-voltage components. NOTE: Avoid contact with the orange high- voltage cables (5) and connectors. Do not touch the orange high-voltage cables (5) E506752-2 and connectors unless the high-voltage circuit is...
Vehicle identification connectors until the high-voltage circuit has been shut down. If an emergency occurs (accident, fire), the high-voltage power supply of the high- voltage system must be shut OFF. It takes up to ten minutes before the high voltage has dropped to a harmless level after an emergency shutdown procedure has been carried out.
Securing the vehicle 3.1 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS General warnings WARNING! The electric vehicle is equipped with high-voltage components and wiring. Not following these instructions can result in severe personal injury or death. – Always observe the safety instructions in this manual and do not ignore them.
Page 22
Securing the vehicle NOTE: Damage to the high-voltage batteries (which is extremely dangerous) can be recognised from the following criteria: – deformation and/or leaks of the high-voltage battery housing. – the high-voltage battery becomes excessively warm; – the presence of smoke, noises or sparks; Don’t –...
Securing the vehicle – In case the electric vehicle is damaged, wear electric insulating gloves until it has been determined that the high voltage has been shut down. – Always perform the 'Emergency shutdown procedure' and allow the vehicle to set for ten minutes before work on the electric vehicle.
Page 24
– Avoid the high-voltage cables, identifiable by their orange colour. – With the exception of maintenance and emergency repairs described in this manual only a DAF certified mechanic may work on the electric vehicle. – To avoid getting in contact with residual voltage wait for ten minutes before starting further work such as tilting the cabin.

Securing the vehicle Emergency high-voltage shutdown procedure 1. Park the vehicle in a safe place. 2. Apply the park brake. 3. Turn the drive mode switch to 'N' (neutral). 4. Remove the ignition key. 5. Press the emergency switch (1) located next to the tachograph.
Electric motor Charge plug The CF electric is equipped with two battery strings also referred to as high-voltage batteries. One fitted on each side of the chassis behind the side skirts. Each battery string contains two, in series connected, high-voltage batteries. Each of the battery string is equipped with a so called MSD (Manual Service Disconnect) disconnecting the high-voltage circuit between two high-voltage batteries.
Securing the vehicle Both the upper and lower battery are filled with silicone fluid, used as a medium for temperature exchange within the batteries. On its turn, the coolant of the vehicles heating and cooling system controls the temperature of this silicon fluid. The high-voltage batteries can be charged externally by using a plug-in charger.

Securing the vehicle A sticker with the airbag symbol on the windscreen identifies vehicles equipped with an airbag and safety belt tensioner system. In addition, there is an identification 'AIRBAG' visible (A) on the steering wheel. A vehicle equipped with an airbag also has an automatic safety belt tensioner.

Stabilising the vehicle 4.1 SEAT ADJUSTMENT NOTE: Before removing the seat, be aware of the safety instructions if the vehicle is equipped with an airbag and therefore an automatic safety belt tensioner. NOTE: The seat can be adjusted if the vehicle air pressure is at least 7 bar. Seat settings Backrest angle adjustment.
Stabilising the vehicle 4.2 AIR SUSPENSION CHASSIS General On vehicles equipped with air suspension, a remote control unit is used to operate the vehicle height. The remote control unit is located against the console of the driver's seat. NOTE: This control unit can only be operated when the ignition is switched NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the keys need only be pressed once briefly.

Stabilising the vehicle WARNING! When the air hoses for the cabin suspension are cut, the air supply for steering wheel adjustment is also taken away. WARNING! When the cabin is lowered, the movement may be uncontrolled. Rear cabin air suspension Cut the air hose to the rear cabin air suspension bellows.
