TraXon gearbox
D Drive mode.
N Neutral.
R Reverse mode (the TraXon has
four reverse gears, R1 to R4. )
When the reverse mode is selected, R1
is displayed on the tachometer display.
While at standstill R2 can be selected
using the right-hand stalk switch.
While reversing the TraXon gearbox will
not, automatically, shift to a different
reverse gear.
Shifting to a different reverse gear is
possible using the right-hand stalk
switch and at sufficient vehicle speed.
So if the vehicle speed is too low, the
TraXon does not shift from for example
R2 to R3.
NOTE: The positions with the tortoise symbol are for either the forward or
reverse manoeuvring mode.
In reverse manoeuvring mode only R1 can be selected.
With switch (1) the Hill Start Aid (HSA)
is switched on or off.
The HSA function can be used with an
TraXon gearbox to drive off at a hill
without using the park brake.
Regenerating DPF
The Emission Aftertreatment System (EAS) is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) which requires regular regeneration.
Normally regeneration is handled automatically by the vehicle without any driver
involvement.
Familiarise yourself with the DPF switch, the three levels of regeneration, their
warnings and what action to take. Make sure that you have enough AdBlue for your
journey.

Quick Reference Guide
There are three levels of regeneration:
Passive regeneration
Automatic regeneration of the DPF above a certain exhaust temperature. No
intervention required by the driver and no indication on the master display.
Active regeneration
Regeneration when driving, triggered by the engine management system (EMS). No
intervention by the driver required.
NOTE: When at low speed or with the vehicle stationary (during forced
stationary regeneration) the yellow coloured high exhaust system
temperature (HEST) is shown in the instrument panel. Take care that no
people, vehicles, animals or combustible materials are within 2 metres of the
exhaust outlet.
Forced stationary regeneration
When Passive and Active Regeneration is not sufficient the system will prompt that a
forced stationary regeneration is required.
A forced stationary regeneration is performed at stand-still and triggered by the driver.
To prevent the engine derating power, perform regeneration of the DPF as soon as
safely possible.
Four different levels of pop-up messages on the master display are possible to warn
you the DPF must be regenerated stationary.
1. Soot level high. Regeneration required (yellow).
An alternative to overcome this is to take a motorway route which will
clear the soot via passive regeneration.
When ignored, this warning will re-appear at the next key cycles.
2. Soot level too high. Start regeneration immediately (yellow).
Again, to overcome this is to take the motorway route.

Quick Reference Guide
3. Soot level full. Regeneration required now (yellow).
The engine derates power and a forced stationary regeneration is
required as soon as safely possible.
4. Soot level full. Service required (red).
The engine derates power and an authorised DAF Service dealer must
service the vehicle.
It is no longer possible to perform a forced stationary regeneration.
Safety checks
Before starting a forced stationary regeneration, make sure that following safety checks
have been performed:
– The vehicle is parked outside with a minimum of 2 metres clear space around the
exhaust outlet.
– The park brake is applied.
– The engine is running at idle speed.
– The vehicle is NOT left unattended.
– The coolant temperature is above 65 degrees.
Performing forced stationary regeneration
When all safety checks have been met,
press the upper side of the DPF switch
(1) once to allow the engine
management system (EMS) to carry out
a self check. Follow the instructions on
the master display.
Press the upper side of the DPF switch
again to start the forced stationary
regeneration process.
NOTE: Prevent any
regeneration action by
switching to 'OFF' (press the
lower side of the DPF switch)
when working inside or when
entering a hazardous area.
