Accelerator pedal mode is a function that allows the operator to control wheel speed independently of engine speed by using the accelerator pedal (A) while using hand throttle (B) to keep the engine at a constant speed.

When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle decelerates to a safe creep speed of 0.5 – 2 km/h. To come to a complete stop, brake pedal with auto clutch function must be used.

To cover transport applications with accelerator pedal (A) only, the operator can leave the hand throttle (B) in its lowest position; engine speed is increased or decreased from the drive strategy based on fuel economy settings. When hand throttle (B) is not at its lowest position, engine speed is controlled directly by hand throttle (B) while accelerator pedal (A) controls wheel speed only.

This means that the vehicle might not reach the wheel speed commanded by speed wheel (C), if the operator is holding the engine speed at low rpm via the hand throttle.

The accelerator pedal mode is intended for applications where it is important to keep the engine speed at a constant rpm independent from the wheel speed (mowing for example).

NOTE: If equipped, indicator light (D) is on with accelerator pedal mode activated. Indicator light (D) goes out when accelerator pedal mode is de-activated.

Activate the accelerator pedal mode

Accelerator pedal mode is activated via the AutoPowr™/IVT™ transmission settings screen on the CommandCenter™.

The reverse drive lever needs to be in park position in order to activate the accelerator pedal mode.

Fuel economy settings and automatic mode functions become active when accelerator pedal mode is enabled. To do this, press the transmission button and activate Auto (Full AUTO) (4) and accelerator pedal mode (5) on the page shown.

To de-activate the accelerator pedal mode, move the reverse drive lever to park position, press the transmission button and de-activate accelerator pedal mode (5) on the page shown.
