NOTICE
More detailed information on
HP Pro Gear-shift Assistance can
be found in the "Technology in
detail" chapter.
The gears are shifted into as
usual with foot force on the
shift lever.
The sensor 1 on the gear-shift
rod detects the intention to
change gear and initiates gear-
shift assistance.
No shifting support is provided
in the following situations:
If the gear lever is not in the
zero position
When upshifting with the throt-
tle valve closed (overrun mode)
or when decelerating
To be able to make another
gear shift using gear-shift as-
sistance, the gear lever must
be fully released after the first
gear change.

Brakes

How do you achieve
the shortest stopping
distances?
The dynamic load distribution be-
tween the front and rear wheel
changes during braking. The
heavier you brake, the greater
the weight transfer to the front
wheel. Increases in the load on
an individual wheel are accom-
panied by a rise in the effective
braking force that the wheel can
provide.
To achieve the shortest possi-
ble braking distance, the front
brake must be applied quickly
and with progressively greater
levels of force. This procedure
provides ideal exploitation of the
extra weight transfer to the front
wheel.
