6.9.1.2 Cruise control
euro-Maus4 is equipped with cruise control to relieve the driver. This enables control of
the driving speed in operating mode "Rabbit II" only and is activated by either pressing
the driving pedal or by switching on cruise control. Especially when driving for longer
stretches, this relieves the driver.
6.9.1.2.1 Switching on cruise control
Cruise control may only be switched on if the following conditions are met:
– Operating mode "Rabbit II" is switched on
– Left joystick console is swung down
– Driving speed exceeds 10 km/h.
Input the desired speed using the driving pedal. When this speed has been reached,
press the right joystick all the way forward and hold it in this position, until the display
field for the driving speed turns green on the color terminal.
Cruise control takes over the speed set by the driving pedal at the time at which the
joystick has been moved forward.
This speed is not necessarily the speed currently being driven.
Example: The current driven speed is 11 km/h. The driver quickly presses the driving
pedal to the end-stop – the driving pedal sets maximum speed for the machine.
The machine begins to accelerate. In this moment, cruise control is switched on.
Cruise control assumes the speed set by the driving pedal (= maximum speed).
If you would like to increase the speed shortly during the drive, then you can
override cruise control at any time by pressing on the driving pedal. If you drive
faster than set by cruise control, then cruise control is switched on, but the effect
of cruise control during driving can only be detected when you reduce pressure
on the driving pedal. When you release the driving pedal, then the machine will
continue to drive at the speed recorded by cruise control.
