## GETTING STARTED WITH THE DAF DIGITAL VISION SYSTEM

The DAF Digital Vision System is an option consisting of cameras outside the cab, and interior  
displays. These camera systems offer an improved direct view through the windscreen and side  
windows, along with improved indirect vision to the rear in all weathers.

## Door Open Appearance

When either door is opened both the left and right screens become  
active.

## The upper section is the main view.

## The lower section is a wide angle view.

Key On Appearance  
At key on all screens become active  
After a few seconds a blue horizontal line appears in the left and right display  
\- This blue line is used to indicate the rear of the trailer.

If you have swapped trailers the blue line needs to be adjusted to the new  
trailer. If not, simply press and hold the button for 2 seconds to confirm the  
current setting.

## Door Control Panel

Heated Cameras

## LH Camera Select RH Camera Select

## AutoPan Camera Fold/Extend

Control Button  
Trailer Length Calibration  
Adjust the blue line by using the control button to align with the end of the  
trailer. Then press either the left or right camera button on the door control panel  
to accept the setting.  
Tip: Use a traffic cone or similar positioned at, or slightly beyond, the rear  
(comfort zone) of the trailer.  
Move the blue end of the trailer line to the same position as the cone and  
store this setting by pressing either the left-hand or right-hand camera  
button.

You do not need to repeat this action at every key on, only if you have swapped  
trailers. However it’s recommended that you acknowledge the trailer  
setting by pressing either camera button before setting off.

## Camera View Adjustment

Once you’ve calibrated for the trailer length, if you want to, you can adjust  
the view from each camera just as you do with the mirrors.  
Once adjusted the save icon will appear in the upper corner.  
Press either left-hand or right-hand camera buttons for  
2 seconds to save the setting.

## Digital Display Overlay

To support the driver digital display overlays are used to help you when being  
overtaken or manoeuvring.

Red line - the end of the trailer as set by the blue line calibration  
Yellow lines - to help judge a safe distance to pull out ahead of an  
approaching vehicle

## When reversing the overlay changes to:

## 1 green line – clear to proceed with plenty of space if no obstacle below

this line  
1 yellow line – “almost there!”  
Red line - the end of the trailer

## These lines are non-adjustable

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:  
Brightness Adjustment  
In ‘Settings Menu’:  
‘Display Settings/Brightness Adjustment’ which adjusts all monitors  
including the Infotainment system.

The brightness adjustment also controls the optional DAF Corner View  
Camera monitor.

AutoPan  
The AutoPan function enables the camera view to follow the rear of the  
trailer whilst turning.  
The AutoPan function can be activated / de-activated by pressing the  
AutoPan switch on the door control panel.  
When AutoPan is selected the switch will be illuminated and will be  
retained after key off/on.

## Folding the Camera Arms

The camera arms can be folded in to protect them from damage when  
negotiating narrow spaces and when using a drive through vehicle  
wash.  
Simply press the Fold button on the Door  
Control Panel, and again to extend once  
through the wash.  
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

## DAF Corner View

The front view mirror and kerb view  
mirror can be replaced by the DAF  
Corner View which provides the driver  
with a continuous view of cyclists,  
pedestrians, obstacles, and other  
road users in the area to the front and  
nearside of the vehicle.  
The camera’s high sensitivity to light  
provides an optimum image in low  
light conditions and, if required, the camera will automatically be heated for  
defrosting purposes.  
Give the corner view camera a wipe on your routine vehicle checks.
