Load detection
Every time the engine is started, the automated gearbox system selects the second or
third gear, depending on the vehicle configuration, as a drive-off gear.
After load detection it is also possible to select a higher gear as drive-off gear, if the
vehicle load is below certain limits.
The result of the load detection process depends on the vehicle load and engine load.
The load detection process can take some time to finish. Every time the vehicle is at
standstill for a longer period or when the ignition is switched off, load detection is reset.
NOTE: It may be necessary to select a lower gear as the drive-off gear
when the load on the vehicle is increased in a short time and the ignition has
not been switched off.
NOTE: With the automated gearbox using the shift strategy Full, it starts off
in first gear.
Driving off in reverse
– Foot on brake.
– Rotary knob in position R (Reverse).
The TraXon has four reverse gears, R1 to R4.
