6 — VEHICLE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT
➈ Ramp Restraint
e Restraint parameter can be used to limit vehicle movement after the vehicle
has come to a stop. If the vehicle brakes to a stop on an incline and the brake
has not engaged, the Restraint function will limit the rate at which the vehicle
travels down the incline. Higher values of Restraint will result in slower vehicle
creeping down the incline. e Restraint function can never hold a vehicle per-
fectly stationary on an incline and is not intended to replace a mechanical or
electromagnetic brake for this purpose. However, it will prevent uncontrolled
vehicle coasting in this situation.
e Restraint parameter also inuences the vehicle’s response to reduced
throttle. If the Restraint parameter is set to a high value in order to slow the
vehicle’s downhill creeping when it is stopped on an incline, this high Restraint
setting will also aect the vehicle’s response to reduced throttle. erefore, the
Restraint parameter should be set with both situations in mind. For tuning the
vehicle’s response to reduced throttle, see tuning procedure
