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 ac-
tuated. If the steering angle is reduced again
upon exiting the curve, the truck accelerates 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
characteristics of the truck.

ipping if the Curve Speed Control
function is disabl
