Reducing speed when turning
(Curve Speed Control)
This function reduces the speed of the truck
as the steering angle increases, regardless of
the amount to which the accelerator has been
actuated. If the steering angle is reduced
again upon exiting the curve, the truck accel-
erates in line with how far the accelerator is
depressed.
However, the function does not release the
driver from the duty to approach a curve at a
speed according to the following factors:
●
The carried load
●
The roadway conditions
●
The radius of the curve
DANGER
The Curve Speed Control function cannot override
the physical limits of stability. Despite this function,
there still is a risk of tipping!
– Before using this function, familiarise yourself with
the change to the driving and steering characteris-
tics of the truck.
DANGER
Increased risk of tipping if the Curve Speed Control
function is disabled! If the controller fails while the
truck is in motion or if the controller is disabled, the
truck will no longer automatically brake when steer-
ing.
– Do not turn off the key switch while driving.
– Actuate the emergency stop switch only in emer-
gencies.
– Always adapt your driving style to the conditions.
Despite the Curve Speed Control function, the
truck may overturn in extreme cases within the
following situations:
●
Cornering too fast on uneven or inclined
roadways.
●
Turning the steering wheel sharply while
driving.
●
Cornering with an inadequately secured
load.
●
Cornering too fast on a smooth or wet road-
way.
