Snow protection air intake

Note:
The swirling snow position on the air intake
should only be used when driving in strongly
swirling snow, such as during snow ploughing.
When driving in strongly swirling snow, you should change the

air intake position for the engine. Change this using the manual
control which is located under the front grille panel adjacent to
the engine air intake.
When the air intake is in its normal position, air is brought to the
engine from the front of the vehicle and in the swirling snow
position the air is taken from the area by the turbocharger. The
swirling snow position prevents snow from blocking the air filter
when driving in strongly swirling snow but the maximum air flow
to the engine is lower than in the normal position. Do not,
therefore, drive with the air intake in the swirling snow position
unless you have to.
If you drive with the swirling snow position under normal winter
conditions and at temperatures above +5°C, this could cause the
engine power to be reduced and the fuel consumption to be
increased. Prolonged driving in the swirling snow position, when
this is not necessary, could damage the engine.

Regeneration of the particulate filter

The vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter which cleans soot
particles from the vehicle’s exhaust gases. The particulate filter is
automatically regenerated, i.e. it is cleaned, but it can become
full. If it becomes full, it needs to be manually regenerated. If the
particulate filter becomes excessively full, the vehicle must be
taken to a Scania workshop for repair.

outlet.
Manual regeneration is carried out with the engine running and

the vehicle parked in a suitable location.
For the regeneration process the following is required:
• The parking brake is applied.
• The gearbox is in neutral.
• Any power take-offs are deactivated.
• The temperature of the engine and catalytic converter is

adequate.
• The particulate filter needs to be regenerated.
• The particulate filter is not excessively full.
The regeneration process is started in the instrument cluster.

1. Use the OK button to navigate the display menu. You
can find the selection under Settings. For more

cluster. If the pressure falls markedly within one minute,
there is probably a leak which must be rectified. Contact
a Scania workshop.
Internal cleaning
Cleaning the cab

Clean the cab’s internal surfaces and interior regularly. Vacuum
textile floor coverings and clean them with carpet shampoo and
a brush or sponge. Also vacuum the seat upholstery to remove
dust and other loose particles. Wipe the floor surfaces of the cab
clean with a damp cloth and use lukewarm water and a mild
detergent. Use a vacuum cleaner with protective grounding and
connect it to an grounded electrical socket.
Stains on upholstery
For oil stains on the seat upholstery, it is important to clean in

the right way using the correct detergent. Stains left by liquids
such as carbonated drinks or light oil must be removed
immediately. Remove as much as possible of the liquid with a
clean cloth or other material that absorbs the liquid. Then use a
detergent which is suitable for the type of upholstery, leather or
vinyl. When removing dirt or stains, it is important to work from
the outer edges of the stain and in towards the centre to avoid
ring marks. If cleaning does however leave a ring, or if there is

any remaining dirt, it will usually disappear after washing with a

lukewarm soap solution or water.
Leather upholstery
Leather upholstery should be oiled at least twice a year and

always after cleaning. Use a wax-based product intended for
oiling leather upholstery. Use soap or leather cleaner for
cleaning. Never use chemical solvents since they damage the
leather. Remember to oil the leather after cleaning. Do not
forget the steering wheel.
Vinyl upholstery
Vinyl upholstery should be cleaned with water and a soap

solution. You can also use a mixture of 1 part isopropyl alcohol
and 2 parts water (1:2).
Note:

Cleaning the cab

Clean the cab frequently. When new, the cab should be cleaned
by hand with only cold water and a clean soft brush through
which the water can flow.
Avoid machine washers for the first 5-6 months until the
paintwork has had time to harden.
You can add a special vehicle detergent to the water, which
should then be lukewarm, to make washing easier. Avoid washing
and leaving the vehicle to dry in the sun.
Clean windows inside and out using window cleaner.
Remove traces of asphalt with a cloth dampened with white
spirit. Do not use strong detergents. They could make the
paintwork dry out.

Cleaning the chassis

Keep the chassis as clean as the cab. Use environmentally
adapted cleaning agents here as well.
Take care not to remove grease from spring brackets, etc. when
using high-pressure jets. If this does happen, they must be re-
greased.
Important when using high pressure cleaning

equipment
Do not use high pressure cleaning equipment on the universal
joint cross, support bearings and slide joint, for example, so as
not to damage the seals. Do not direct the jet towards seals.
Water may enter the seals and cause damage.
IMPORTANT!
Do not carry out high pressure cleaning or walk
on the silencer heat shield under the vehicle since
this may damage the material.
IMPORTANT!
If large tears occur on the heat shield, the material
must be renewed. Inadequate heat insulation
capacity can cause overheating of adjacent
components and there is a risk of personal injury.
Complete
20170627 422
Maintenance
IMPORTANT!
High pressure wash the rest cooler module at a
distance of at least 50 cm to avoid the risk of
damage and impaired performance. The rest
cooler module is located on the left-hand side of
the cab, near the battery box.
Cleaning the exhaust system
IMPORTANT!
Do not flush water into the exhaust pipe when the
engine is running. When the NOxsensor has
started, it will be damaged if in contact with water.
Flush out any remaining water by revving up the
engine to 1,500 rpm for a few seconds as quickly
as possible after starting the engine.

Tyres and rims
! WARNING!
Never pump up the tyre on a wheel which is not

fitted on the vehicle. The wheel may be flung out
if the tyre bursts.
The vehicle’s compressed air system can be used
when pumping up tyres. To reduce the risk of a
puncture use only the parking circuit, which
supplies a maximum pressure of 8.5 bar.
Only pump up tyres which are undamaged and
which have a satisfactory tread depth.
Always adapt tyre pressure to loads. Incorrect
tyre pressure can affect roadholding.
The vehicle’s front axles are designed to give quick and

responsive steering, provide a good feel for the road and are easy
to steer. They do however require wheels that have high
standards of roundness and rims with high standards of flatness.
It is important that you follow the Driver’s Manual instructions
to avoid vibrations in the front axle caused by the wheels.
425 Complete
20170627
Maintenance
! WARNING!
Never replace tyres on rims if you do not have

the suitable equipment and necessary experience.
Mark the rim’s position in

relation to the hub so that it is
b201768
refitted in the same position.
• Front axle rims should be used for the front axle, rear axle
rims for the rear axle. Avoid mixing the two.
• Make sure that the rim complies with Scania standards for
flatness. Only use rims which meet these requirements.
Consult a Scania workshop regarding marking.
• When renewing a tyre on the front axle, the same rim

should be used. Fit rims back in the same position they
were in before removal.
Complete
20170627 426
Maintenance
• Front wheels should be balanced before fitting. If

vibration still occurs, the wheel should be balanced
whilst fitted to the front axle. The wheels are usually
balanced by tyre workshops.
• Renew both tyres at the same time on a twin mounting.
Choice of tyre
The vehicle and tyres are correctly matched on delivery.
Changing to a different tyre dimension can alter the overall gear
ratio of the vehicle. This means that the tachograph must be
reset. Contact a Scania workshop for help in resetting the
tachograph.
For information on, e.g. load index and axle weight, see the
section Tyre pressures in the Technical data chapter.
Do not exceed the maximum rated speed for the tyres. Refer to

Type of tyre
There are two different types of tyres: radial tyres and cross-ply
tyres.
Note:
Scania advises against use of cross-ply tyres since
they have much poorer properties than radial
tyres.
Cross-ply tyres:
• Generate more heat
• Are less efficient at thermal dissipation
• Are less resistant to punctures
• Have greater rolling resistance, which leads to higher fuel

consumption
Complete
20170627 428
Maintenance
• Reduces comfort
• Have a smaller contact surface against the ground, which

reduces brake performance, drive capability, directional
stability, roadholding and produces greater and more
uneven wear.
Checking the tyres

Check that tyre wear is evenly distributed across the entire width
of the tread. When wear is uneven, it must be investigated and
the cause rectified.
Check tread depth. Different countries have different legal
requirements regarding tread depth. Comply with the legislation
of the country in question.
• If tyre pressure is too high, tyre wear increases and
comfort may be reduced.
• If tyre pressure is too low, fuel consumption increases and

tyre wear may increase.
Note:
The legal requirements for tread depth vary
depending on the country concerned.

b339546
4. Tighten the wheel nuts in the correct sequence as shown

in the figure. Never use a flywheel type nut runner.
Tighten the nuts to 650 Nm.
IMPORTANT!
A Scania workshop should tighten the wheel nuts
to the correct torque. Too high or too low a
torque can cause the wheels to come loose or
make the brake drum oval.
5. Lower the vehicle and remove the wheel chocks.
437 Complete
20170627
Maintenance
Scania recommends that a line is drawn above the

wheel stud and the wheel nuts so that any deviations
are easier to detect. Use a marker pen. If a wheel nut
b338216
deviates, remove the wheel nut completely and refit it.
IMPORTANT!
Check-tighten the wheel nuts to 650 Nm after
driving approx. 100 km.
Touching up paintwork
You should treat paintwork damage as soon as it is detected. The
earlier it is treated, the less risk there is of corrosion.
A professional paint shop should be used for more extensive

damage to obtain satisfactory results. However, you can repair
minor damage such as chips caused by flying stones and
individual scratches yourself.
If the damage has not gone through to the metal and there is a
coat of protective paint remaining, you can clean thoroughly and
apply the touch-up paint directly.
Scania cabs are manufactured in galvanised sheet steel. If a stone

has caused damage down to the metal and it has started to
corrode, you must first scrape away the surface rust and then
grind down the damaged area to the bare metal.
Complete
20170627 438
Maintenance
Afterwards, apply a zinc-based primer as a reinforcing layer to

retain the corrosion protection. The primer must be suitable for
use on galvanised sheet metal.
Then, apply one coat of primer. Finally, apply the finishing coat
in several thin layers so that the damaged area attains the same
height as the surrounding paintwork.
Stir the primer and finishing coat thoroughly before use. Allow
the paint to dry between coats.
Waxing and polishing

A new vehicle should not be waxed until after 5-6 months.
Polishing is not required until the paintwork has oxidised and
become dull. Polish and abrasives may be used only in
exceptional cases on a new vehicle. Contact your Scania
workshop for advice.
The paintwork must be thoroughly clean before you start waxing

and polishing.
Wheel chocks
On the vehicle there are one or two wheel chocks on the side of
the vehicle or on the back of the frame.
The wheel chocks are used when there is a risk that the vehicle
may move unintentionally.
When you remove the wheel chocks:
• Fasten the rubber strap to the holder.
439 Complete
20170627
Maintenance
After use:
• Attach the wheel chock with the rubber strap and latch
clamp, see figure.
1. Pull the rubber strap through the

slots in the wheel chock and hook
firmly to both sides of the wheel
chock. The appearance of the
bracket varies from vehicle to
vehicle.
2. Make sure the spring-loaded latch
b210784
clamp is in the correct position.

! WARNING!
It is common for several of the vehicle functions

to be disengaged or out of order during recovery
and towing.
IMPORTANT!
If towing or recovering the vehicle farther than
500 metres, detach the propeller shaft. If you do
not detach the propeller shaft, the gearbox could
be damaged. Refer to the section Detaching the
propeller shaft.
Preparatory work
• Before recovering from a ditch, unload the vehicle and
clear the ditch of stones etc. that may damage or get
caught in the vehicle when pulling.
• Check that no damage has occurred to the vehicle that

may cause a short circuit in the electrical system. If this
is the case, disconnect the batteries to prevent fire.
• When carrying out a recovery on a road, the vehicle

should always be lifted without a load. Alternatively, the
front axle weight can be reduced as much as possible.
443 Complete

Emergencies
• If possible, raise the tag axle. If this cannot be done,

centre the tag axle.
• Switch off the power to lock the tag axle in the current
position.
If there is a fault in the EST system
Yellow fault
The tag axle is centred automatically when a yellow fault occurs.
Switch off the power to lock the tag axle in the centred position.
Red fault
For serious faults in EST, the tag axle has to be centred
manually.
• Centre the tag axle manually or tow the vehicle straight
ahead until the tag axle is centred. The ignition must be
on when the centring is being done.
• Switch off the power to lock the tag axle in the centred
position.
If the battery voltage of the towed vehicle is low, there is a risk

that EST cannot lock the tag axle. Proceed as follows to centre
the tag axle:
1. Connect jump starter
2. Start the voltage

Charging
• If power is used from the batteries they should be
recharged within a day or two.
• Repeated starts and extended periods of idling provide

less effective charging than long runs. Charge the
batteries if they are not charged through driving.
• It is more difficult to charge a battery at low

temperatures.
! WARNING!
Explosive gas is formed when batteries are being

charged. Smoking is forbidden and any apparatus
that can cause sparks must not be in the vicinity.
Note:
Always remove the ground connection (negative)
before charging.

Slow charging
Slow charging is always preferable except in real emergencies.
The current level should be approximately 10% of the battery
capacity. A battery with a capacity of 180 Ah should be charged
with approx. 20 A.
Boost charging
Boost charging means that the battery is recharged with a higher
current for a shorter period of time.
Avoid boost charging the battery. The load on the batteries is
very high when boost charging and may impair their service life.
IMPORTANT!
One cable terminal must be disconnected before
boost charging. Otherwise, there is a significant
risk of damage to the vehicle’s electronic control
units.
Trickle charging
If the vehicle is not to be used for a long period, Scania
recommends trickle charging in order to avoid damaging the
batteries.

Maintenance
The exterior condition of the batteries must be inspected
regularly. Oxide, dirt and moisture can generate leakage currents
and discharge the batteries. The oxide can also result in poor
connections and voltage drop.
Maintenance instructions:
• Make sure that the batteries, battery terminals, electrical
cables and battery box are clean. Clean with water.
• Check that the battery connections are intact. Grease

battery terminals and cable terminals with Vaseline.
Corroded battery cable terminals lead to poor
connection with a reduced current capacity as a result.

General information on batteries

The vehicle is equipped with a dual battery system. A pair of
service batteries which provide power when the engine is not
running and a pair of starter batteries which are only used to start
the engine. Other power consumption is normally handled by
the alternator.
Note:
The starter batteries have sufficient power to
start the engine, even if the other service
batteries in the vehicle seem discharged.
If the engine does not start, in rare cases the
batteries may be completely discharged. Check
that all current consumers in the cab are switched
off. Wait for a few minutes and try to start the

The battery charger supplies the vehicle’s batteries with

charging from a standard grounded electrical socket. The
voltage is connected via a switch above the vehicle’s batteries and
provides voltage to the battery charger, and also to the vehicle’s
engine heater, if fitted.
When the electrical cable is connected between the vehicle and

the electrical socket, battery charging is started immediately.
The charging voltage is displayed in the instrument cluster. The
value varies between 26 V and 28.8 V provided the vehicle’s
engine is not running.
Electrical input for the battery charger and the

electrical engine heater.
Adaptive battery charging

The ability of the battery to charge is dependent on the
temperature of the battery. A cold battery is less able to accept
the charge than a warm battery. Cold batteries therefore reach a
better state of charge if they are charged at a high charging
voltage.
The adaptive battery charging function means that the charging
voltage from the alternator is adapted to the battery temperature.
The charging voltage therefore increases when the battery is
cold and reduces when the battery is warm. The charging voltage

is set automatically and cannot be controlled manually. You can

see how high the charging voltage is on the instrument cluster.
The value may vary between 26 V och 30 V.

Automatic chassis lubrication
Additional lubrication
Driving conditions determine the amount of lubricant to be
distributed. Difficult driving conditions require more
lubrication, i.e. the lubricating pump will run more often on such
a vehicle than on other vehicles e.g. long distance haulage.
Lubrication and pause times are factory settings and should not
be changed.
If the engine is switched off during a lubricating period, the
lubricating pump will stop and lubrication will be interrupted.
When you start the engine again, the lubricating period will be

AdBlue
Note:
When AdBlue runs out, the level of nitrogen
oxides will be higher than intended. This may
violate national legislation which could mean that
the requirements for national tax and duty relief
will not be met. Comply with national
legislation.
AdBlue may have another brand name in your region. The

following brand names correspond to AdBlue: AUS 32, ARLA
32, Air1 and DEF.
Follow the instructions in this section carefully. If you make a
mistake when refuelling, important parts of the fuel system or
emission control system will be damaged.
Complete
20170627 550
Oils and fluids
The vehicle is equipped with emission control technology, SCR,

which reduces the amount of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
gases. Ensure that the SCR system remains functional by
topping up AdBlue regularly.
Vehicles equipped with SCR produce a cloud of white steam
when they are started. This happens most often when starting a
cold engine in cold conditions, but can also occur under other
conditions. The steam cloud consists of water vapour and is
formed because the catalytic converter absorbs water. This is
normal, and the steam disappears when the engine is under load.
The steam cloud is no more harmful to health than normal
exhaust fumes, but bear in mind that it could reduce visibility for
other road users.
Normal AdBlue consumption is 2-12% of the fuel consumption.
However, higher consumption is not abnormal. When using a
power take-off, for example, the consumption is higher than
when driving on public roads.
For more information on emission control, refer to the section

Quality requirements for biodiesel

The quality of the fuel is important to engine operation, service
life and performance. Biodiesel must comply with the
requirements of standard EN 14214.
Your vehicle is prepared for driving on up to 100% biodiesel EN
14214.
For a number of reasons, it is not possible to use 100% of the fuel
in the tank. For example, the fuel pick-up unit must never suck
air into the engine. For this reason, there must always be fuel left
in the tank, even if the gauge shows 0%. The shape of the fuel
tank, the location of the filler flap and equipment in the tank also
affect the amount of fuel that can be used. This means that it is
not possible to top up with the maximum volume of the tank.
There must also be room for the fuel to expand, e.g. due to
temperature differences.
During extended stoppages, the fuel tank should be drained of
biodiesel and completely filled with diesel since this reduces the
risk of condensation forming in the fuel tank. This also prevents
the biodiesel from becoming too old.
The maximum storage period for biodiesel is 6 months from the
date of manufacture.

! WARNING!
Biodiesel is harmful to the skin and eyes. Wear

IMPORTANT!
Special measures are necessary when changing to
biodiesel after use of diesel. Contact a Scania
workshop. When changing from diesel to
biodiesel, special measures are required. Contact
a Scania workshop.
Note:
If the vehicle has two tanks, fill the tank with the
fuel pick-up unit first. It is this tank which the
pump draws from. Fill the tank completely to
keep air out of the connecting line to the other
tank.
Biodiesel at low temperatures

Biodiesel is adapted for use in the specific climate of each
country. If you are going to drive the vehicle to a zone that is
colder than the one in which you refuelled, make sure that the
fuel can handle the lower temperature.
At low temperatures, wax-like precipitation occurs in the
biodiesel. When this occurs, there is a risk of the fuel filter
becoming blocked and the engine losing power, stopping or
being unable to start. The wax-like precipitation normally lies at
567 Complete
20170627
Fuels
the bottom of the fuel tank and remains even if the biodiesel is
heated.
Problems with wax-like precipitation could start at +5°C. Ask
your fuel supplier about what applies to the fuel you are using.
Scania recommends switching to diesel that complies with
standard EN 590 when temperatures are about +/- 0°C. Use a
fuel heater to improve start properties. Mixing in diesel EN 590
also improves cold-start properties.
If you are suddenly caught up in the cold and are uncertain
whether the fuel in your tank can handle the climate, you should
park in a warm garage. An emergency measure is to avoid turning
off the engine.
Always use a fuel heater if you are unsure about the fuel’s
properties in the temperature in question.
IMPORTANT!
Mixing kerosene or the like with fuel is not
permitted as the injection equipment may fail.
Fuel heater
Fuel heaters prevent the fuel filter from becoming blocked by
paraffin wax at low temperatures. The risk occurs if you use fuel
designated for higher temperatures than where you are. The fuel
heater can increase the fuel temperature by around 5°C. This is
not enough if the tank is full of diesel classified for higher
temperatures than where you are. The fuel heater cannot
dissolve paraffin that has already formed on the filter. If the filter

The fuel system

The fuel system works under high fuel pressure. The fuel system
is therefore susceptible to damage since it could lead to fuel
leakage.
Poor-quality fuel may contain particles that create problems in
the fuel system and shorten the service life of parts such as the

fuel filter. Poor-quality fuel may also contain water, which can
cause corrosion.
Since the fuel system is also extremely sensitive to
contamination, all operations in the system, such as fuel filter
renewal, should be carried out by a Scania workshop.
Raised idling speed

If the engine runs at a low load for an extended period of time,
the filter is heated automatically. The heating causes an increase
in the idling speed. The function is called periodic hydrocarbon
evaporation and is used to prevent damage to the particulate
filter and the oxidation catalytic converter.
Actions
• Complete – to prevent damage to the vehicle, the
function should be allowed to run to completion, which
takes about 15-30 minutes. You do not have to do
anything. The function will run and end automatically.
• Cancel – release the parking brake or engage a gear to

cancel the function.
• Prevent – it is possible to prevent the need to run the

function. This is done by warming up the vehicle before
the next extended period of idling. Approximately 10
minutes of driving, e.g. on a motorway, is sufficient.

1. Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed nipple. Place the

end of the plastic hose in a container that holds at least 3
litres.
2. Loosen the hand pump handle.
3. Open the bleed nipple.
4. Hand pump until the fuel comes out of the hose. This
may take 200 strokes of the pump.
5. Close the bleed nipple.
6. Start the engine and open the bleed nipple carefully.

7. Check that the fuel coming out contains no air bubbles;

approximately 3 litres may need to go into the container
before the air has gone.
8. Close the bleed nipple, remove the hose and tighten the
hand pump handle.
If the engine is difficult to start, repeat steps 4-7 a few times.
Contaminants in the fuel
Water or micro-organisms
Small amounts of water are permitted in fuel. Max. 0.02% is
permitted for diesel (EN 590) and max. 0.05% is permitted for
biodiesel (EN 14214). These amounts of water do not affect
engine function. Prolonged and improper fuel storage can result
in more water collecting. If these larger amounts of water enter
the engine, it will be damaged.
To check if there is water in the fuel, shine a light into the tank
using a flash light. The water in the fuel will appear like silvery
bubbles or floe. Since water is heavier than diesel, the water
collects at the bottom of the tank.
If you have so much water in the tank that floe forms, you should
visit the workshop for decontamination. If water is so high that
it is close to the fuel pick-up unit’s inlet, request towing to a
Scania workshop for decontamination.

Fuels
Micro-organisms can grow in the interface between water and

fuel. They can lead to a brown or black slimy film and discolour
the fuel.
Water and micro-organisms can block the fuel filter so that the
engine runs unevenly or stops. They can also pass the filter and
form damaging coatings on different parts of the injection
system.
In the event of contamination
IMPORTANT!
Fuel additives can contain substances that are
dangerous to the environment and health. Take
care to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
handling and dosing.
If the vehicle fuel system is contaminated, it must be completely

cleaned from fuel and water. The tanks must be drained and
cleaned, mechanically and by steam/high-pressure washing, and
then dried. Lines and other components in the fuel system must
be flushed and blown dry. It is important that no fluid is left in
the system after cleaning.
Always renew fuel filters. In the event of serious or long term
infection the components of the fuel system may also need to be
renewed.
583 Complete
20170627
Fuels
Locate the source of the infection. Establish and rectify the cause
of the contamination so that the infection does not recur. It is
usually fuel that has been stored for a long time, with little
movement and without draining of the condensation. For
example in a container, barrel or auxiliary tank.
When the fuel system has been thoroughly cleaned, an anti-
bacterial agent can be added at the first refuelling in order to
ensure successful cleaning. Continuous use can damage the fuel
system and is not recommended.

Tyre pressure
General information about tyre pressure

• Always adjust tyre pressure to the axle weight. Incorrect
tyre pressure leads to greater tyre wear and can cause a
significant deterioration in road handling.
• Higher loads and higher speeds causes an increase in tyre

temperature. This, in turn, increases tyre pressure.
Complete
20170627 586
Technical data
• Too low tyre pressure causes an increased fuel

consumption, increased tyre wear, risk of overheating
and can damage the tyre carcass.
• A tyre that has been overheated and has a damaged tyre

carcass is dangerous to use and can explode.
• Follow local legislation and the instructions of the tyre

manufacturer. The tables should be seen as a guide.
The tables show tyre pressure in bar at different axle weights.

Axle weight and max. pressure are given in thousands of kg. The
values in the table apply to cold radial tyres.
IMPORTANT!
The tyre pressure changes approximately 0.2 bar
per 10°C. This should be taken into account when
checking tyre pressure indoors, particularly at low
temperatures.
Example: If the indoor temperature is 20°C and the outdoor

temperature is 0°C, the correct tyre pressure is the prescribed
pressure plus 0.4 bar.

Technical data
Note:
The vehicle and tyres are correctly matched on
delivery. Changing to a different tyre dimension
can alter the overall gear ratio of the vehicle.
This means that the tachograph must be reset.
Contact a Scania workshop.
