Benefits of a software update
Up-to-date truck software contributes to the overall optimum performance of your truck. In this article, we explain the benefits of a software update.
What are the benefits of a software update?
Updating a truck's software ultimately serves one purpose: optimising how your truck drives. A truck that is kept up-to-date has fewer problems with bugs and unwarranted fault messages. It also affords you greater insight into the consumption and characteristics of the truck.
What happens if I keep driving around with an outdated version?
If you fail to update to a new version when it becomes available, you are unlikely to encounter any acute issues. A new update is essentially an improved version of the former, lowering the chances of unnecessary and unwarranted faults. Once software becomes really outdated, however, it is time to update it. This will prevent synchronisation issues.
Where can I have a software update carried out?
You can head to your DAF dealer for a professional software update. Because software plays an increasingly important role in daily truck use, it is important that it is read properly. Updates can be performed alongside regular maintenance work, saving you time.
Always up-to-date
To summarise, when your truck is equipped with the latest software version, you have a good and faithful representation of your trucks' characteristics, including consumption and other important aspects. The advice is therefore to have software updates performed in a timely manner.
