Automatic Traction Control

sdp dm 14.03.011

An Eaton automated transmission system requires the automatic Traction Control (ATC) option to be enabled when driving in soft soil/sand to prevent wheel slippage and shifting issues.

Adhere to the following points when driving with ATC enabled:

  • If using automatic mode in soft soil and/or sand, maintain the engine speed between 1000 and 1300 rpm to prevent unnecessary upshifting.

  • If using manual mode in soft soil and/or sand, do not attempt an upshift and try to maintain the current gear.

  • If the vehicle comes to a stop in the sand it may be necessary to back up prior to attempting forward movement.

To disable the ATC, depress the ATC switch. For more information, see Chapter 4 . This mode allows for the drive axle wheels to spin.
