202 Hydrostatic drive system acteristics are the same as when using the standard drive system. The brake response of the accelerator pedal can be adapted to suit the work to be performed by applying the continuous brake ( Y page 167). Even at higher speeds, a safe full brake application is possible in conjunction with ABS. It is possi- ble to shift the transmission gears while driv- ing, without having to open the clutch. Power output is limited to approximately 60 kW. Driving mode "Drive" mode Hydrostatic drive system status indicator :
Working mode cruise control display (not available in driving mode) ; Drive condition display = Driving mode display In "drive" mode, you can drive with automo- tive hydrostatic transmission; i.e., the vehicle speed is proportionate to the speed of the diesel engine. Only the first six gears are available and the speed is therefore limited to approximately 50 km/h. If you call up "drive" mode while the vehicle is stationary, the previously selected pulling- away gear is chosen. You can choose from two operating modes in driving mode "drive": To select an operating mode: X Press and hold the o button on the mul- tifunction lever, until desired operating mode A drive or M drive = is displayed.
A drive : gear changes occur automati- cally. M drive : the gears must be shifted man- ually. R M drive : you must change the gears man- ually. This operating mode is suitable for front loader use, for example, when you need to drive forwards and backwards repeatedly. To switch between "drive" = and "work" modes: X To use the multifunction lever: briefly press the o button on the multifunction lever. R A drive : gears are selected automatically. This operating mode is suitable for interval use, for example, including roadside post cleaning. X To use the control lever: make sure that the Work Drive function is selected in the on-board computer ( Y page 241).
H Environmental note The hydrostatic drive system is particularly suitable for slow work trips. Avoid using the hydrostatic drive system at high speeds. This reduces fuel consumption and therefore actively contributes to protection of the envi- ronment. X Press the blue button on the control lever. "Work" mode In "work" mode you can select the vehicle speed and the working speed independent of the speed of the diesel engine. The work mode is suitable for work with a snow blower, for example, when you wish to set the vehicle speed and the working speed separately. You must change gears manually.
Only the first six gears are available and the speed is therefore limited to approximately 50 km/h.
