Disable engine speed control
Disable the
engine speed control
can be done as follows:
1. By turning the end of the control lever to
position OFF
(direction D)
(see
Picture 4-8, point 1
);
2. By operating the accelerator.

Uphill and downhill driving
If the accelerator is released (by a possible traffic situation) while uphill or downhill driving, it may occur
that the automatic gearbox will switch down to an acceleration gear.
Shortly before the vehicle stops, the gearbox will automatically disengage the gear ratio.
This can cause the vehicle to move backwards or to speed up.
If the accelerator is operated again, it will not directly result in pulling capacity because first the
coupling must be engaged.
Use the
service brake
while uphill driving (after opening the coupling);
While uphill driving, take into account the reduction of the braking power:
-
In this situation operate the service break to a greater extent;
While uphill driving, take into account a possible reduced and delayed pulling capacity.
CAUTION!
While uphill or downhill driving, take into account that the automatic coupling can
be opened unexpectedly.
