Select a driving program
Select the driving program depending on the load and the con-
ditions of the terrain. You will find information on gear-shifting
in section “Gear shift lever for transmission <Drehwendels-
chalter>” on page 71.
Generally, you use driving program 4 for heavy loads.
You have to use driving programs 1, 2 or 3 when the oil
temperature becomes higher than 100 °C when
approaching or driving up inclines.
If the transmission oil temperature repeatedly rises
above the permissible value while driving, it may be
a sign that you are using the wrong driving program.
In this case, choose a lower driving program.
