Foreword

We would like to welcome you to the ever-growing number of people who own a Valtra tractor; people who appreciate quality. We are proud of every tractor that leaves our factories, each being technically advanced and of a high quality.

This Operator Instruction Book contains the specifications for your new tractor. Please ensure that all operators read the instructions and follow them carefully. The pages that follow contain vital information on your tractor; please read them carefully.

Your Valtra dealer will guarantee you quality servicing and will provide you with all the assistance you need. When it comes to servicing, remember that your dealer knows your tractor best and that he wants you to be completely satisfied.

Please leave this Operator Instruction Book in the tractor if resold. The subsequent owner will need the information it contains.

Operator Instruction Book

OTE: This Operator Instruction Book is widely published and distributed and the availability of the attach-

ments indicated, whether fitted to the basic tractor or as an accessory, may vary depending on the country or region in which the tractor is used. To find out which attachments are available in a given region, contact a Valtra dealer.

The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and the operator to operate the tractor appropriately under normal conditions of use. Providing they follow the instructions carefully, the tractor will give many years of service in the Valtra tradition. The commissioning of equipment by the Valtra dealer on the user's premises enables the dealer to ensure that these operating and servicing instructions are properly understood. Always consult the Valtra dealer if there is any part of this book that you do not understand. It is important that these instructions are understood and followed. This book does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to the implements and accessories that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or later. It is essential that operators use and understand the Operator Instruction Books relating to these implements and accessories.

IMPORTANT: This book must always be kept with the tractor. For extra copies, contact your Valtra dealer.

This chapter in the Operator Instruction Book highlights certain basic safety-related situations which may be encountered during normal operation and servicing of the tractor and provides the information needed to handle these situations. This chapter supplements any safety instructions given in other chapters of this book. It may be necessary to take additional precautions, depending on the implements and accessories used and the working conditions on-site or in the servicing area. Valtra can under no circumstances exercise direct control over the commissioning, operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the tractor. It is therefore YOUR responsibility to take suitable safety precautions in such areas.

WARNING:

It is your responsibility to read and understand the instructions that appear in this chapter before using the tractor. They must then be strictly adhered to throughout the working day.

Servicing, spare parts, accessories and conditions of use

Daily servicing should become a routine, and a logbook of operating hours should be kept. When spare parts are required, it is important to use only genuine Valtra parts. Valtra dealers supply genuine parts and can offer advice concerning their fitting and use. The use of lower quality parts may cause serious damage. Customers are advised only to purchase their spare parts from an approved Valtra dealer. In the same way, you must only use accessories specifically adapted to your tractor. Owing to the considerable variation in operating conditions, it is not possible for the manufacturer to formulate complete or absolute assertions in its publications concerning the performance or operating methods of its machines or to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result from such assertions or possible errors or omissions. If the tractor is to be used in abnormal conditions which could cause damage (use in deep water or in paddy fields for instance), you should consult your Valtra dealer to obtain special instructions to prevent the warranty from becoming void. These tractors are designed only for usual farming activities (intended use). Use for any other activity is considered to be contrary to the intended use. Strict compliance with the repairs, servicing and operating conditions as specified by Valtra is also an essential component of the intended use.

IMPORTANT: Valtra accepts no responsibility in the event of damage to equipment or personal injury result-

ing from improper use.

The tractor must only be used, serviced and repaired by personnel who have full knowledge of their specific features and who are aware of the applicable safety measures (prevention of accidents). Customers are strongly advised to contact a Valtra dealer in the event of after-sales problems and for any adjustments which may be necessary.

2.6.2 Activated carbon filter information

T011579

WARNING:

Due to the risk of contaminants entering the cab when the door is opened to enter or exit, use of a carbon filter is intended to supplement but not necessarily replace the use of personal protective equipment when operating in an environment containing aerosols and/or vapours, such as pesticides. The specific chemical manufacturer’s instructions regarding personal protective equipment (PPE) must be followed. If the cab being fitted with this filter does not already have a safety sign like the one included with this filter, install the safety sign in a prominent place inside the cab in view of the operator.

This filter is designed to reduce the concentration of aerosols and vapours entering the cab. To be effective, it must have an effective seal to prevent leakage around the filter and must be used in a cab air system that does not have leaks, especially in the zone between the filter and the fan. In addition, the cab and its ventilation system must be capable of maintaining a positive pressure inside the cab and an air flow of at least 30 cubic meters per hour (18 cubic feet per minute). The cab with carbon filter is intended to be used as only one part of a managed system of occupational health and safety, as noted below:

Operator Enclosures as Part of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS)

Many self-propelled agriculture vehicles have operator enclosures (cabs) for comfort and protection of the operator and riders. The cab can provide an effective physical barrier between the occupants and the environment, but that barrier must, by necessity of occupant respiration, allow air to enter and exhaust the cab. This requirement is met by the cab’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. The HVAC system should employ a filter through which air entering the cab is first passed for contaminant reduction. Filters should also be provided in the recirculation air-stream to reduce airborne contaminants already in the cab air space. In either application, these filters must be designed specifically for the HVAC system within which they are operating. The filters must also incorporate the correct media required to remove the specific air-born contaminant for which it is being employed.

2. Safety instructions and safety points - Warranty

For such applications, the HVAC system must be of robust design, manufacture and maintenance. In such a system, fresh air and cab pressurization requirements are provided by an air supply drawn through a filter with negligible filter bypass. Even with an appropriate cab and HVAC system, there are other opportunities for contaminates to enter the cab. While outside the cab, a person can become contaminated on his/her body or clothing. Contaminated objects can be brought into the cab. Another potential for cab contamination exists when doors or windows are open in a contaminated environment. In any case, whenever the cab interior has been contaminated, the effectiveness of the cab to provide contamination protection will be diminished. Health and safety for agricultural machine operators as well as others working in, on or around these machines can only be addressed through a comprehensive program. Such a program is defined as an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). While cabs may be used as an effective engineering control within an OHSMS, this is not intended to imply that the cab alone is appropriate for any specific application. That determination can only be made by those responsible for the OHSMS in a specific application. It is the responsibility of those charged with managing the use of the vehicle on which the cab is attached to define and manage an appropriate OHSMS, and ensure that all federal, state and local regulatory requirements are followed. Cabs should not be used as a replacement for any other engineering control or PPE that has been specifically required by federal, state or local regulatory authorities.

Hierarchy of Controls

The Hierarchy of Controls, in their preferred order of action:

1. Elimination

2. Substitution of less hazardous materials, processes, operations or equipment

3. Engineering controls

4. Warnings

5. Administrative controls

6. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Continuous Improvement Cycle

Cabs should only be used to control operator air contaminant exposures within an OHSMS. This management system must consider occupational safety and health as a continuous improvement cycle that includes these on-going processes:

1. Management, Leadership and Employee Participation: This step in the cycle involves the formulation of the management system, the establishment of policy, statements of responsibility and the integration of the employees into the management system.

2. Planning: This step is based upon initial and going reviews of the management system and numerous factors affecting occupational safety and health within an organization. Included in these reviews is a review of the hazard, risks and controls and data collected to evaluate the hazards and the efficacy of the control measures. In explanatory comments, exposure measurements are included as part of the assessment processes. The results of audits and measurements are also to be reviewed.

3. Implementation and Operation: This section describes the organization components of a occupational safety and health program. It describes the hierarchy of controls mentioned above and several broad classes of management function. Among these requirements are employee training and evaluation of employee training. Furthermore, this section requires a written, clearly documented occupational safety and health program.

4. Evaluation and Corrective Actions: The section specifically requires management processes to monitor and evaluate hazards, risks and their controls. Explanatory comments note that this includes quantitative measures of worker exposure. Practically, this involves physically testing the efficiency of the cab being used as an engineering control within an OHSMS.

5. Management System Review: Management is required to review the management system to ensure its suitability, adequacy and effectiveness. This cycle includes provisions for exposure monitoring and the monitoring of control measure performance. It is the responsibility of the manager of the safety and health program to determine how worker exposure to air contaminants and other hazards are to be controlled. It is also the responsibility of this manager to take whatever actions are needed to control workplace hazards. This includes but is not limited to exposure assessment, audits of varies programs such respiratory protection, ventilation system maintenance, etc.

Limitations of Cabs Used in Hazardous Environments:

Valtra_S - EAME 33

4315992M5 - 1

2. Safety instructions and safety points - Warranty

While it may seem that respiration (breathing) exposure would present the greatest risk for personal exposure to contaminants, this is not the case when working with pesticides. The most prevalent method of exposure for applicators and those working around agricultural pesticides is through dermal (skin) contact. Dermal contact with contaminants may occur directly from air-borne contaminants. It may also happen when contaminants are transferred from one object to another or when air-borne contaminants settle on objects that are subsequently contacted. Any surfaces in or out of the cab that have been contaminated are potential hazards for dermal exposure. Within the cab, seats, upholstery, controls and other surfaces that become contaminated will pose such a hazard. In addition to dermal exposure, a contaminated cab interior will also pose a respiration hazard as the contaminant may, after settling on a surface, become air-borne once again whereby it may be inhaled. Recirculation filters can be used to help reduce these contaminates from the cab interior air space. When a vehicle is operated in an environment where air-born contaminants exist, the cab can be an effective engineering control for reduction of exposure risk to persons within it. In order for a cab to be used for this purpose, it must be of appropriate design. It must also be manufactured, maintained, tested and operated according to the specific requirements defined by evaluation of the hazards. No cab should ever be considered an effective engineering control unless it has been qualified as such within a comprehensive OHSMS. While the cab manufacturer can design and manufacture a cab to physical specifications, the cab manufacturer can not qualify the cab as an appropriate engineering control for any specific application. Site-specific information is needed to evaluate the appropriateness of control measures. To use the cab to control hazards, the managers of the OHSMS must carefully consider and evaluate the effectiveness of all engineering controls in their specific application.

The Cab as an Engineering Control

The engineering control requirements of the respiratory protection regulation may be fulfilled by the application of a cab, but this can only be done properly within an OHSMS. Elements of such a program are:

1. Assessment of the hazard with identification of the risk involved.

2. A survey of the machine and the cab involved in the hazardous operation.

3. Reviewing the cab ventilation system and the filter to ensure the filter provides the reduction in contaminants required.

4. Defining how long the filter can be used in this application.

5. Testing the cab ventilation system to ensure it provides the protection required for the operation to be performed. This also includes a review of any monitoring equipment to ensure it is working properly.

6. Repair and/or replacement of any defects or defective equipment found.

7. Retesting of the cab air system as required.

8. Recording in the appropriate log book all information regarding the test results, and repairs and replacement of parts and/or components.

9. Assessment of the effectiveness of the program at a specified time in the cycle of the activity.

– When driving across a slope with a tractor fitted with implements on one side, these implements must:

– always be facing towards the top of the slope

– never be raised

– be left as close as possible to the ground

– When towing a load at transport speed, lock the drawbar in the centre position and use a safety chain.

– Do not use the tractor to round up livestock.

Preventing a rear overturn

– WARNING:

Hitching a load to the rear axle or on any other part located above the rear axle may cause a rear overturn.

– Do not pull anything using the top link connection or from any point above the centre line of the rear axle.

Always use a Valtra-approved drawbar and only use a lockable drawbar pin.

– When using a drawbar for a three point hitch, use the stabilisers and keep the drawbar in the bottom po-

sition.

– Use front weights to increase tractor stability when towing heavy loads or to counterbalance the weight

of a heavy rear-mounted implement.

– Start off slowly and then gradually increase speed.

– Do not release the clutch suddenly.

– If a heavy load or immovable object is attached to the tractor, incorrect use of the clutch may cause the

tractor to overturn.

– If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, disengage the clutch.

– If the tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen to the ground:

– do not attempt to drive forward as the tractor could then rotate around its rear wheels and overturn

– lift any attached implements and attempt to reverse If this is not possible, tow the tractor out with

another vehicle.

– If the tractor is stuck in a ditch, if possible, attempt to reverse out. If you must go forward, do so slowly

and carefully.

– A bare tractor or a tractor fitted with a rear implement must climb a slope in reverse gear and descend

the slope in forward gear.

– A tractor fitted with a full loader at the front must climb a slope in forward gear and descend the slope in

reverse gear. The loader must be kept as close to the ground as possible.

– Always engage a gear when driving downhill. Do not allow the tractor to coast down the slope with the

clutch disengaged or the transmission in neutral.

DANGER:

To avoid serious injury or death due to falling loads resulting from inadvertent raising or roll-back of the loader, do not connect loader hydraulics to any tractor auxiliary valve that has detents which cannot be locked out or removed, except for the float function in the loader lower circuit. If the tractor is equipped with such a valve, a dedicated, properly configured loader valve must be installed.

T000894

DANGER:

A front-end loader with a bucket or forks must be fitted with a holding device. This device must prevent the load (bales, fence posts, rolls of fence, wire etc.) from rolling down the length of the loader arms when the loader is raised, as it could crush the operator. Objects that are incorrectly secured may also fall and injure people in the vicinity of the tractor.

When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts, turns or changes in direction. Keep loads close to the ground when transporting.

– Never lift loads above someone.

– Implements fitted to the three-point hitch or to the side of the tractor make a much larger arc when turn-

ing than trailed implements. Ensure there is enough room to manoeuvre in complete safety.

– Only use implements suitably adapted for your tractor.

– Always read the implement instruction books fully for implements to be used with the tractor and comply

with the safety instructions they contain.

– Do not modify nor remove any parts of an implement.

– Do not touch the mechanism of an implement nor lean over it or attempt to reach it. Do not allow anyone

else to do this either.

– Do not allow anyone (including yourself) to stand or pass in front of, under or behind an implement.

– If the tractor is not immobilised according to the "mandatory procedure before dismounting the tractor"

see §2.4.5, page 30, never stand or allow any person to stand between the tractor and the implement.

– Always use implements that are capable of safely carrying the load that you wish to place in it.

– Do not overload a trailed implement. Use appropriate weights to maintain tractor stability.

– The top link and the lift rods must never be taken beyond the point where the thread starts to appear.

– When using chemicals, follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for use and storage carefully.

Towing: permissible load and speed

ARNING:

The stopping distance increases with the speed and weight of the trailed implements, and also on a slope. Whether they are fitted with a brake system or not, trailed implements that are too heavy for the tractor or that are towed at too high a speed may lead to a loss of control. Take account of the total weight of the trailed implement (including the load).

Never tow an implement: – at a speed exceeding the speed limit in force in the relevant country and

– if the true weight of the tractor/implement assembly is greater than the tractor total permissible loaded

weight indicated on the name plate.

Towed equipment without brakes:

Do not tow equipment that does not have brakes: – at speeds of more than 32 km/h; or

– at speeds above those recommended by the manufacturer; or

– with a mass (weight) that is over 1,5 t (3300 lb) when fully loaded and is more than 1.5 times the mass

(weight) of the tractor.

Towed equipment with brakes:

Do not tow equipment that has brakes: – at speeds of more than 50 km/h; or

2.10 Protective structures

2.10.1 Protective structures: use and accreditation

The protective structures (cab, ROPS, seat belts) limit injuries as far as possible in case of an accident or if the tractor overturns. They meet all applicable standards for agricultural tractors.

2.10.2 Cab or ROPS (depending on model)

– The cab and ROPS have been designed to be suitable for this tractor series.

– Never weld parts onto the cab or ROPS.

– Never bend or straighten the cab or ROPS.

– Never drill or modify the cab or ROPS to fit accessories or implements.

If other controls or displays have to be fitted in the operator's area, contact your Valtra dealer to find out what to do.

– Do not attach chains or ropes to the cab or to the ROPS in order to pull or tow anything.

– If the cab or the ROPS has been removed, refit it and tighten the fixings to the specified torque before

using the tractor again.

–

WARNING:

A cab or ROPS damaged as a result of an accident, overturning or other incident must be replaced before using the tractor again.

2.11 Warranty

2.11.1 General

When selling new products to its dealers, the manufacturer provides a warranty which, subject to certain conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from defects in material and workmanship. Since this book is published worldwide, it is impossible to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty that apply to all retail customers in all countries. Purchasers of new Valtra equipment should therefore request full details from their supplying dealer. In accordance with the manufacturer's policy of continuous improvement of its products, the manufacturer reserves the right to make alterations to the specifications of machines at any time without notice. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for discrepancies which may occur between the specifications of its products and the descriptions thereof contained in its publications.

T000853

2.11.2 Pre-delivery inspection and commissioning on the user’s premises

The dealer is required to carry out certain activities when supplying a new tractor. These consist of carrying out a full pre-delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied is ready for immediate use, and providing full instructions to the user on the basic principles of operation and servicing of the tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and controls, and routine servicing and safety precautions. All persons who will be involved in the operation and servicing of the tractor should be present when these instructions are given.

IMPORTANT: Valtra disclaims all liability in the event of any claim resulting from the fitting of non-approved

parts, accessories, implements or attachments or unauthorised modifications or alterations.

T000854

2.11.3 Warranty procedure

Correct commissioning on the user's premises and routine servicing help to prevent breakdowns. However, if operating problems do occur during the warranty period, follow this procedure:

– Immediately inform the dealer you purchased the tractor from, stating the model and serial number. It is

very important not to delay, as even if the defect is covered by the original warranty, the coverage may no longer apply if the repair is not carried out immediately.

– Provide the dealer with as much information as possible. The dealer will need to know how many hours

the tractor has been in service, what type of work it is used for and the symptoms of the problem.

T000855

Routine servicing operations not covered by the warranty

It should be noted that routine servicing operations such as tuning, brake and clutch adjustment, and the supplies used for the tractor servicing (oil, filters, seals, fuel, antifreeze etc.), are not covered by the warranty.

Warning concerning spare parts

Parts other than Valtra parts are likely to be of lower quality. Valtra disclaims all liability in the event of loss or damage arising as a result of such parts being fitted. The manufacturer's warranty may also become void if such parts are fitted during the normal warranty period.

2.11.4 Procedure to follow if changing region

Only the dealer from whom the tractor was purchased is liable for the protection provided by the warranty. Any repairs should, wherever possible, always be carried out by this dealer. If, however, the owner moves to another region or if the tractor is to be used temporarily at a location a long way from the dealer from whom it was bought, it is advisable to ask this dealer for the name and address of the dealer closest to the new address and arrange to have the obligations remaining to be fulfilled under the warranty transferred to this dealer.

If the customer leaves the region covered by the original dealer without having taken these steps, the new dealer will offer its services if needed, but may invoice them at the normal rate unless: – the customer has clearly stated that the warranty period has not expired, and

– the repair dealer has been given the possibility of taking the necessary steps with the selling dealer.

2. Safety instructions and safety points - Warranty

2.11.5 Servicing during and after the warranty period

During the warranty period, all servicing and repair work must be carried out by the dealer, who will carefully carry out detailed checks of the progress and performance of the new tractor.

To obtain best results from a Valtra tractor, it is important to continue regular servicing and periodic inspections after the warranty has expired. All major overhaul work on the tractor must be carried out by a local dealer; an experienced technician will detect any problems which may arise between one overhaul and the next. Technicians regularly follow training courses to update their knowledge of the product and servicing and repair techniques, and the use of special tools and modern diagnostic equipment. They receive regular Service Bulletins and have access to all the workshop manuals and technical publications required to carry out repairs or servicing in accordance with the quality standards required by Valtra.

Legroom adjustment (1)

Move the locking lever up to enable legroom adjustment. After the adjustment has been carried out, the locking lever should be engaged in the required position. It should not be possible to move the operator's seat into another position when it is locked.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift the locking lever with your leg or calf.

Seat depth adjustment (2)

To adjust the depth of the seat, pull the handle on the right upwards while moving the seat backwards or forwards to find the required position.

Seat tilt adjustment (3)

To adjust the tilt angle of the seat, pull the handle on the left upwards, while pressing on the seat or releasing pressure on the seat to find a comfortable position.

NOTE: There are two tilt angles, spaced 2.5° apart.

Seat swivel adjustment (4)

Pull the locking lever to enable the rotation mechanism and swivel the seat 20° to the right or left (the seat can be locked in position every 10°). After the adjustment has been carried out, the locking lever should be engaged in the required position. It should not be possible to move the operator's seat into another position when it is locked.

Vertical shock absorber (5)

The seat's vertical shock absorber can be adapted to the structure of the road or terrain. Seat comfort is individually adjustable using the rotary switch:

1. Low shock absorption

2. Medium shock absorption

3. High shock absorption

In addition to these absorption levels, there are additional intermediate levels located between the reference marks.

Seat weight and height adjustment (6)

Seat with pneumatic adjustment suspension The weight adjustment is carried out automatically when the operator sits on the seat. It is not necessary to operate the handle. The height adjustment is continuously adaptable due to the pneumatic system: Raise or lower the seat by pulling or pressing on the weight adjustment handle. When the upper or lower height limit is reached, the height adjusts automatically, providing minimum shock absorption travel. Release the handle at the required height or at the upper stop.

IMPORTANT: To avoid causing any damage, activate the compressor for a maximum of one minute when

adjusting the seat height.

Seats with manual adjustment suspension The weight adjustment is carried out by pulling or pushing the lever fully until a green mark appears on the indicator light (A) indicating the weight and height.

3. Operation

Lateral shock absorber (7)

Under certain conditions of use (driving with a trailer), it is advisable to use the lateral shock absorber; the operator's seat is then better protected against side-to-side jerks. The lateral shock absorber can be activated and deactivated using the locking lever: – Position 0: Lateral shock absorber OFF

– Position 1: Lateral shock absorber ON

Fore/aft shock absorber (7)

The fore/aft shock absorber allows the operator's seat to be better protected against jerks in the direction of travel. This suspension is permanently activated and cannot be deactivated by a control component.

Armrest tilt (8)

The tilt angle of the armrests can be adjusted by turning the thumb wheel by hand. If the thumb wheel is turned towards the outside of the seat (+), the front of the armrest will be raised. Turning the thumb wheel towards the inside of the seat (-) will lower the front of the armrest. The armrests can be tilted backwards and their height can be adjusted as necessary. Remove the protective cover on the left-hand side of the seat (arrow) by unscrewing the hexagonal nut located behind. Adjust the armrests to the required height (5 notches) and retighten the hexagonal nut. Then, refit the protective cover.

Backrest tilt adjustment (9)

The seat backrest adjustment mechanism can be enabled by moving the locking lever upwards. After the adjustment has been carried out, the locking lever should be engaged in the required position. It should not be possible to move the backrest into another position when it is locked. The backrest tilt angle (positions spaced 2° apart) can be adjusted between -10° and +30°.

Lumbar support adjustment (10) (11)

By operating the upper switch ((11)) or the lower switch ((10)), the lumbar support can be individually adjusted in the upper or lower section of the backrest. This adjustment increases seat comfort and operator freedom of movement. – Electrical adjustment version: The curvature of the lumbar adjustment is adjusted by pressing "+" or "-"

on the relevant switch. Stop pressing "+" and release the switch when maximum backrest curvature is reached. If you continue to press the switch, the seat could drop.

NOTE: To prevent the loss of air, stop pressing the "+" symbol on the switches as soon as the air cham-

bers are completely filled.

– Manual adjustment version: Turn the adjustment thumb wheel in either direction to stiffen or soften the

adjustment.

Seat heater and air conditioning (12)

The seat active air conditioning ensures the seat remains dry. Moisture from the body is removed when it comes into contact with the seat. This air conditioning system ensures a more comfortable seat. Press the switch to activate/deactivate the seat heater or air conditioning. – Position 0: Seat heater and air conditioning OFF

– Position 1: Seat heater ON (air conditioning OFF)

CRUISE

5 Drop in transmission speed

Allows you to adjust the drop in engine speed that is to be tolerated before a drop in transmission speed occurs. This can be set from 1 to 10 (0 to 30% drop in engine speed) (1) maintains the speed, (10) allows the engine speed to drop.

NOTE: Can only be selected in automatic mode

6 Maximum engine speed

Sets the maximum engine speed In automatic mode, engine speed is maintained below the selected value. Engine speed is also limited when using the hand throttle and the stored engine speed (engine Cruise).

NOTE: The engine speed limit does not work when the foot throttle is used in

semi-automatic and manual modes

7 Forward speed limit

Setting the forward speed limit in all modes. This setting can be used when driving on slippery roads or to prevent unintentional excess speed. It can be set from 5 km/h to 50 Km/h (depending on the legislation in force in the country) at intervals of 5 km/h

NOTE: In automatic mode, for example, the maximum speed limit is set using

the transmission control lever.

8 Aggressiveness of Cruise kph

Allows you to set the aggressiveness of the Cruise kph curve when engaged. Can be set from 1 (least abrupt) to 4 (most abrupt).
