Fade-Out Mode

Fade-out and system switch off is triggered by the following:

• Driver de-selection
• System failure.

Fade-out and system stand by mode is triggered by the following:

• Throttle pedal pressed in neutral
• Brake overheat.

By gradual reduction of brake pressure, the vehicle is allowed to accelerate at a maximum rate of 0.5 m/s? until maximum target speed is reached, or until no active pressure in system for 0.5 sec. The system then switches off, or into stand by mode, depending on the trigger for fade-out mode.

If the throttle pedal is pressed less than 20% (parameter), fade-out acceleration limited to 1 m/s?. If the throttle pedal is pressed 20% or more, system switches off, or into stand by mode, depending on the trigger for fade-out mode.
