3.2.7 Pushing aid
Should you require motorised support when pushing, for example on steep hillsides, then
you can activate the pushing aid. To do this, while you are in the start menu (see section
3.2.2), press button [2] on the controller to move to the next sub menu. There, select
“menu” and in the next selection screen that appears, select “pushing aid”. You can activ-
ate or deactivate the pushing aid in the next window that opens.
Once you have set the required function, go back to the start menu by pressing button
[1] of the controller several times. An activated pushing aid is shown in the start menu
by the symbol [13].
Using the pushing aid
For Pedelecs:
•
The pushing aid is used by pressing button [1] of the controller. This turns on the
motor and moves your Pedelec at a maximum speed of 6 km/h for as long as you are
holding down button [1]. This is shown in field [13] as a white bar element.
For handbikes:
•
The pushing aid is used by pressing button [1] for a pushing aid forwards or button
[3] for a pushing aid backwards.
This turns on the motor and moves your handbike at a maximum speed of 12 km/h
(forwards) or 4 km/h (backwards) for as long as you are holding down the respective
button ([1] or [3]). This is shown in field [13] as a white bar element.
For Pedelecs and handbikes:
•
If buttons [1] or [3] are released, the motor switches off. It can only cut in again if
the Pedelec / handbike is idle.
•
If the pedals are moved during pushing, the sMMI automatically switches to the mode
of the pre-set assistance level (see section 3.2.4) so that the selection activated for
this level is available from a speed of about 8 km/h.
•
If the pedals are not moved, the sMMI switches back to the pushing aid below a speed
of 8 km/h.
•
If the sMMI is switched off, the activated pushing aid is retained in the program and
is immediately ready for use upon start-up.
However, after start-up the drive wheel
must complete 2 to 3 revolutions before the motor moves the Pedelec when
pressing button [1] or [3].
•
The maximum speed of the pushing aid can be set according to your requirements by
your specialist dealer.
3.2.8 Date and time
The date and time can also be set individually.
The set time is shown in field [12] of the start menu whereas the date is only used for
internal calculations in the sMMI.
As already seen in the functions described in previous sections, you can also set the date
and time in the known way from the start menu in the various sub menus (see also the
overview in section 3). You can modify the required parameters here.
