Lane departure warning (LDW)

The lane departure warning (LDW) monitors the lane in front
via a camera in the windscreen and warns when one of the side
markings on the lane are unintentionally crossed. The system
does not warn you if you actively steer over the side markings.
IMPORTANT!
The lane departure warning is only an aid.
Keep the windscreen in front of the camera clean
so as not to impair the camera’s field of vision.
If the LDW is not working or is deactivated, the symbol

b209851
is displayed on the instrument cluster.
LDW gives a warning with acoustic signals in

the loudspeakers.
LDW gives a warning via an acoustic signal from the left- or
right-hand loudspeaker according to which side of the road you
Complete
20170627 184
cross the lane markings. When the warning occurs, the volume
of any music in the hi-fi system is automatically reduced.
The LDW warning takes the form of an acoustic signal when:
• You unintentionally cross the lane markings of the lane

you are driving in.
The LDW does not warn when:
• You carry out an intentional steering wheel movement

during normal steering.
• You have activated the direction indicator and for 4

seconds after it has been switched off.
It is possible to adjust when LDW warnings should occur using

driver settings.
Activation and availability

b354537
Switch for LDW.
LDW is activated automatically when the ignition is switched

on. The lamp on the switch lights up green.
LDW can be deactivated using the switch. When LDW is
deactivated, this is indicated in the instrument cluster. The lamp
on the switch lights up yellow.
185 Complete
20170627
LDW is available when:
• The speed exceeds 60 km/h and the system can identify at

least 1 line. The function is switched off when the speed
falls below 55 km/h.
LDW is limited when:
• The camera cannot read the lane markings because of

snow, gravel or similar on the road surface.
• There are no clear side markings.
• You are driving on a sharp bend.
• The sun is dazzling the camera.
• Rain, snow or fog obscures the camera’s field of vision.
When the camera’s field of vision is blocked, the

symbol is displayed together with a message in the
b340513
instrument cluster.
If the camera is still blocked after 30 seconds, the

symbol is displayed together with a message that the
b209851
function for LDW is limited.

Warning distance
There are 3 different levels of sensitivity when LDW gives a

warning when the vehicle approaches the lane side markers.
• Early
• Normal (default setting)
• Late
Advanced lane departure warning
This setting looks at driving behaviours and the situations in

which LDW gives a warning.
• Activated (default setting) – LDW does not give a
warning for intentional infringements.
• Deactivated - LDW always gives a warning, apart from

when the direction indicator is activated.
Scania Driver Support

Scania Driver Support makes it easier for you, the driver, to
develop and maintain a driving style that reduces fuel
consumption and wear. Driver support is easy to use and gives
tips and a driving score in the instrument cluster display while
driving.
Driver support gives you a driving score in 4 categories:
• Hill driving
• Use of brakes
187 Complete
20170627
• Anticipation
• Choice of gears
Hill driving
b363520
Symbol for hill driving
Release the accelerator in good time before a downhill slope or

the top of a hill to minimise the need for braking further down
the slope. The driving score is based on the increase in vehicle
speed on the slope, use of brakes and the reduction in vehicle
speed before the downhill slope started.
If map information is available for the route, driver support can
give tips on releasing the accelerator before a downhill slope
starts. How soon before the slope the tip is provided depends on
the performance mode selected.
Increase the vehicle speed before an uphill slope to avoid losing

too much speed on the slope and to avoid changing down gears
unnecessarily.
The driving score is not adversely affected if you cannot
accelerate in this manner.
b363519
Symbol for gaining speed before an uphill slope
Complete
20170627 188
A driving score is not given if:
• Adaptive cruise control is activated and there is a vehicle

in front of you controlling the speed.
• Cruise control with active prediction is activated.
Use of brakes
b338032
Symbol for use of brakes
Driver support analyses use of the service brake, engine brake

and auxiliary brake. Driver support calculates how much power
the engine brake and auxiliary brake can contribute in different
situations. The engine brake and auxiliary brake give high
driving scores.
During light braking with the service brake, the engine also
brakes. In these situations, a high driving score may be given
even though no auxiliary brake is activated. Repeated, short
braking and braking at low starting speeds do not generate a
driving score. Driver support encourages the use of the auxiliary
brake as much as possible.
The driving score for braking is given only when the braking has
finished. Braking is finished when the vehicle has stopped or
acceleration begins. In certain conditions the analysis is switched
off, if the automatic retarder is deactivated.
189 Complete
20170627
Anticipation b363518
Symbol for anticipation
High driving score in anticipation is awarded in situations where

you coast longer before you start braking or you adjust to the
speed in a traffic queue.
Driving score for anticipation is given as soon as braking begins.
A braking that is done entirely using the engine brake is awarded
maximum points.
Choice of gears
b363517
Symbol for choice of gears
Driver support analyses how the choice of gears affects fuel

consumption and suggests which gear is the most fuel-efficient.
Use the suggested gears to obtain a high driving score.
Driver support encourages driving at low engine speeds. This
means that the advice to change to a lower gear can come fairly
late, for example when on an uphill slope.
Higher driving scores are also given during normal driving when
Opticruise is in automatic mode if either Standard or Economy
performance mode is selected.
Complete
20170627 190
Clutch use
Driver support evaluates the starting gear you have selected, how
much you slip the clutch and how you use the accelerator pedal
when driving off. If the energy used when driving off is high,
suggestions are given as to what can be changed when you next
drive off.
Performance modes
Select the economy performance mode or standard mode for the
best fuel economy.
If power or off-road performance mode is selected, the driver
support will monitor the power usage and speed variations and
analyse if the selected performance mode is the most suitable
choice. If this is not the case, the driver support will give tips on
this. If power mode or off-road mode is selected no driver tips
regarding gear changing will be given. The analysis will remain
the same.
Display in instrument cluster

Driver support is always active and evaluates how the vehicle is
being driven even if other information is shown in the

Traction Control (TC)

Traction control prevents wheel spin on the driving wheels by
reducing the engine torque and braking spinning wheels.
Traction control also prevents the driving wheels from locking if
you brake with the retarder or release the accelerator pedal too
rapidly. This is achieved by increasing the engine torque when
there is a tendency for the wheels to lock.
Overall this provides the following benefits:
• Better stability with a reduced risk of skidding.
• Improved hill-climbing ability.
• Easier to drive off from a stationary position.

The vehicle is equipped with a servo-assisted gear shift system.

The servo-assisted gear shift system facilitates gear changing by
strengthening the power applied to the gear lever. This means
that less power than normal is required to change gear.
Note:
If too much power is applied to the gear lever, the
servo-assisted gear shift system will shut down to
protect the gearbox. It is activated again once the
power on the gear lever is reduced. If the servo-
assisted gear shift system is shut down, gear
shifting will become very stiff.

Gear shift interlock when engaging range gear
The vehicle is equipped with a gear shift interlock that locks the
gear lever in neutral position while engaging range gear. When
the range gear is engaged, the catch releases and gear shifting can
continue.
In cold climates it can sometimes be a problem when changing
down to the low range. The gear shift interlock will then release
after 3 seconds to allow the gear lever to be moved to a gear
position. The gear lever must then be moved back to neutral
position to start making a new attempt to change down to low
range.
Splitter gear
The splitter gear splits each gear ratio into high and low. The
switch between high and low splitter gear mode takes place when
you depress the clutch pedal.

Clutch monitoring
The vehicle has a function which reduces wear on the clutch.
The clutch is exposed to wear when starting with a heavy load.
The function affects the engine speed so that it will not be too
high when starting from a stationary position. The maximum
engine speed is limited by the function to 750 rpm. In some
situations it is necessary to increase the engine speed. The
procedure is described below.
Increasing the maximum engine speed

If you lock any of the differential locks in a rear axle, the
maximum engine speed limit is increased to 1,100 rpm. The
performance is increased in that position. When you have
pressed the switch, it may take the differential lock some time to
lock. You can only increase the engine speed when the
differential lock is locked.
Temporary increase of engine speed

You can temporarily increase the engine speed by depressing and
holding the accelerator pedal in the kickdown position. The
engine speed then slowly increases, reaching 1,100 rpm at the
most. If you release the accelerator pedal, the engine speed stops

In manual mode M you select the gear manually but Opticruise

changes gear, provided the selection is reasonable in relation to
the speed.
Opticruise will change the same number of gears up or down as
the number of times you move the Opticruise lever towards or
away from you. Opticruise can skip gears.
If you have taken manual control of the clutch with the clutch
pedal and slip the clutch, Opticruise is not allowed to change
gear until the clutch pedal is completely depressed or released.

Downhill speed control

Downhill speed control is designed for long periods of braking
on downhill slopes. When downhill speed control is operating,
the wheel brakes on the vehicle are completely passive and cool.
This enhances both safety and operating economy.
The ABS must work for the downhill speed control to work. You
can, however, still activate the retarder.

Switch for downhill speed control
1. Press + or - to change the set speed at which the vehicle

will begin to brake.
2. Press 0 to disengage the downhill speed control. Press

the arrow to activate the downhill speed control at the
previously set speed.
275 Complete
20170627
Some vehicles can be programmed so that you can always use the
exhaust brake during cruise control. The exhaust brake is used
by downhill speed control as an additional help to maintain
speed.
Otherwise the exhaust brake switch must be on in order to
activate the exhaust brake.
The vehicle can be programmed to work in one of the following
ways:
• Either only with the downhill speed control button
• Or with both the downhill speed control button and the

brake pedal.
The option of activating downhill speed control can be disabled

in the workshop.
On some vehicles there is a programming option which ensures
that the brake lamps do not come on during downhill speed
control.
Using downhill speed control
Engage downhill speed control by:

1. Set the AUT button in position 1 on the retarder.
2. Apply the brakes on the vehicle until you reach desired

speed or press the plus or minus part of the downhill
speed control button. Downhill speed control is
activated.
Complete
20170627 276
3. Change gears so that the engine speed is over 1,800 rpm

to obtain best braking effect.
The engine speed is automatically regulated if you drive with

Opticruise.
Your vehicle will maintain the current speed until you accelerate
and have fully released the clutch or begin to brake again.
If it is not possible to maintain speed when going downhill, it is
likely that the engine speed is too low. If so, change down and
restart the downhill speed control. If it is still not possible to
maintain speed when going downhill, you must reduce the speed.
Downhill speed control with offset

Some vehicles have a function, brake offset, which you can use to
set a difference in speed between the downhill speed control and
cruise control.
To use the function, the retarder must be in position AUT 1.
The display shows the set speed

b361240
when the vehicle starts braking.
Setting brake offset

When you come to a downhill slope and wish to set the brake
offset, press the plus or minus part of the downhill speed control
button. The brake offset speed is set each time the button is
pressed. If you hold down the plus or minus part, this is similar
to pressing the button several times in succession.
277 Complete
20170627
When you press the plus or minus part, the display in the
instrument cluster lights up for a few seconds and you can see the
speed at which the vehicle will begin to brake.
Brake offset can only be activated when cruise control is engaged.
Disengaging brake offset

You can disengage brake offset at any time by pressing the OFF
part of the downhill speed control switch.
If you press the OFF part of the cruise control switch on the
steering wheel, both brake offset and cruise control will be
switched off.
If you depress the clutch pedal, cruise control will be disengaged.
Downhill speed control will still be active, however.
Fuel-saving measure
You can save fuel by temporarily disengaging downhill speed
control at the end of a downhill slope. This gives the vehicle a
little extra speed into the coming uphill slope.
Proceed as follows to temporarily disengage downhill speed

control:
• Press the accelerator pedal at the end of the downhill

slope when the retarder is working. Downhill speed
control is temporarily disengaged.
Complete
20170627 278
• Downhill speed control is automatically activated during

the next uphill slope when the cruise control starts
working. Downhill speed control is now ready to brake
during the next downhill slope.
• Press on the RES part of the downhill speed control

button if you change your mind and want to activate the
downhill speed control immediately.

ABS
The vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes. Anti-lock brakes
reduce the braking distance and improve the steering.
The improved steering with ABS reduces the risk of jack-knifing
accidents.
This is how ABS works

If any wheel is beginning to lock up, the control unit decreases
the brake pressure to that wheel so that locking of the wheel
ceases. In this way very quick pump action braking is achieved.
• After the starter lock has been turned to the drive
position, the control unit carries out a self-test,
whereupon several clicking sounds are heard.
Complete
20170627 290
• The ABS symbol for the vehicle should go out after

approx. 3 seconds if the system is fault-free.
• If a fault occurs, all or part of the ABS system will be

disconnected. If the vehicle is equipped with an
automatic exhaust brake or foot-operated retarder, these
functions are always disconnected when the warning
lamp is illuminated.
• Depending on the type of trailer, the trailer ABS symbol

may remain on until the vehicle reaches a vehicle speed
above 10 km/h.
• After repair, the ABS symbol will only go out after the
system has received signals from the wheel speed
sensors. The vehicle must have attained a vehicle speed
of 5-7 km/h for this to occur.
The vehicle is equipped with a switch to change control of ABS.

The control is dependant on the vehicle’s speed.
0-15 km/h No control of ABS.
15-40 km/h Limited control of ABS.
>40 km/h Normal control of ABS.
Only use this function under controlled conditions. The

Switch which activates ABS off-road.
EBS
EBS is an electronic brake system, which means that the brakes
are applied more rapidly resulting in a shorter braking distance.
During normal braking, the EBS braking force is distributed
between the wheels so that the wear on the brake linings is
equalised. During heavy braking, the braking force is distributed
so that the vehicle’s stability remains as good as possible.
EBS includes, among other things, the functions ABS, ESP and
traction control (TC). For more information, refer to the
sections ABS, ESP and Traction Control (TC).
! WARNING!
EBS is affected by bodywork, conversions of the

steering or steering column and adjustments of
the control unit parameters.
Complete
20170627 292
If you depress the brake pedal when the vehicle’s power is

switched off, EBS is activated.
Brake adaptation
Regulating the power in the trailer connection provides
automatic brake adaptation between the tractor unit and trailer.
The trailer’s braking force is adjusted automatically during
driving.
Back-up
If there is a serious fault in the EBS, a red brake warning is
displayed in the instrument cluster. Then, a pneumatically
operated backup system is engaged automatically. When the
back-up system is engaged, the brake pressure to the wheel
brakes is no longer controlled by electronic signals but by
compressed air. The braking system still has the same braking
force but the brake pedal feels different and it requires
considerably more pedal force than normal to brake the vehicle.
! WARNING!
When the back-up system is engaged, all

electronic functions, e.g. ABS and TC and ESP,
are also disengaged.
293 Complete
20170627
Wear control
Wear control helps to distribute the braking power so that the
disc brakes are evenly worn.
You can check how much brake lining is left on each wheel in the
instrument cluster. Refer to the Instrument cluster section for
more information.
Emergency brake assist

EBS reinforces the brake pressure during emergency braking in
emergency situations.
Warning information
Symbols and fault messages for the EBS are displayed in the
instrument cluster. If there is a fault, fault codes may be
generated, which you can also read in the instrument cluster.
! WARNING!
Do not drive the vehicle if the low brake pressure

warning lamp is flashing or if the brake pressure
gauges show that the pressure is too low. Contact
a Scania workshop if you cannot increase the
pressure so that the warnings go out.
Complete
20170627 294
Note:
A fault message is displayed for 5 seconds when
the trailer is connected. This does not mean that
there is a fault but is only a check to ensure that
the fault message works. If the fault message
disappears within a set time, the system is
working correctly. The fault message is only
displayed if the trailer is equipped with EBS.
Brake test
Carry out the brake test when there is a message in the
instrument cluster that requests this. Stop the vehicle and
acknowledge all warnings before you carry out the brake test.
Follow the instructions displayed in the instrument cluster in
order to carry out the brake test.

Lighting in the cab

The general lighting in the cab comes on automatically when the
vehicle is unlocked using the remote control or when the doors
are opened. A delay function keeps the general lighting on for a
while longer after the doors have been closed. The general
lighting also comes on for a time when the starter key is removed

The lighting in the cab can be set manually using the switches.
The vehicle saves the settings and uses them until they are
changed.
Note:
If the lighting in the cab is on despite the vehicle
being shut down, the lighting is switched off after
a delay so as not to drain the vehicle battery. This
only occurs if the vehicle does not detect driver
activity, e.g. button presses or opened doors.
