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.
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
steering.
– Do not turn off the key switch while driving.
– Actuate the emergency stop switch only in
emergencies.
– 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
roadway.
