What happens here
Navigating hills in an articulated dump truck presents unique challenges, primarily reduced visibility over the front of the truck when ascending. Approach hills steadily. Utilize the 'Hill Assist' feature for enhanced safety and control on inclines. To activate, drive up the hill and come to a complete stop using the main brake pedal. The Hill Assist system will automatically hold the truck in place for a short period, preventing it from rolling backward. To resume movement, simply press the accelerator pedal. This feature is active on slopes of 10% grade or steeper.
Goal: Safely traverse inclines using specialized truck features.
