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 Dash Mounted Brake Controls in the Driver Controls chapter. This mode allows for the drive axle wheels to spin.
