position. The adaptive control will learn driving styles.
- The driver can intervene and perform manual shifts, if the operating
range of the engine allows.
NOTE:- down shifts will be held indefinitely until the engine over
speeds or the accelerator pedal is touched at which time the
transmission will revert back to automatic mode.

If the driver is abusing the clutch during hill starts
or manoeuvring, it may lock up and stall the
engine or completely disengage. During hill starts,
if the vehicle starts to roll backwards, the clutch
will pulse, in order to prevent it from rolling. Stop
and select a lower gear with more positive
accelerator pedal action.
• Warnings - in Manual Mode there is no engine
protection and it can be over rev’ed, eg going
down hill. The transmission will only make the

5. Iveco Turbo Brake (ITB)
• Iveco engines are design, under engine braking, to operate
above the governed rpm, in the yellow band on the
Tachometer. Changing down, to increase the engines rev’s,
will improve engine braking. Works in reverse gear as wel.
• It is silent to operate - quieter by up to 2 dB(A) Vs
acceleration
• ITB can be actived by dash switch for “foot off” the
accelerator or “foot on” the brake and at any time by the
“foot on” the floor button.
• C8 220kW@3000, C10 270kW@2650, C13 300kW@2400
6. Cruise Control Operation
• To Activate - Turn the engine brake (ITB) off.
- Press set + or - or resume buttons.
• ITB will activate if the set speed is exceeded by 2 km/hr.
• Cruise control is available down to about 30 km/hr.
• When stationary, use + or - to adjust idle for PTO operation
- ensure ITB is off.
7. Fluids
• Fuel System Priming. A fuel rail bleed screw is located on
top of the Thermostat housing. Use hand primer pump
located with the primary fuel filter on the chassis to force
clear fuel out of this bleed screw.
• Engine Oil change, Spec. Urania FE, SAE 5W-30/ACEA E5
Full change and top up amounts!
Cursor 8 - 23 litres including filter & 12.5 litres top up.
Cursor 10 - 28 litres including filters & 8 litres top up.
Cursor 13 - 31 litres including filters & 8 litres top up.
• Coolant Paraflu, (check to confirm coolant type)
change every 2 years.
(Do not mix coolants, flush and rise to change type)
Estimated Vol.
Cursor 8 - 26 EuroTech only
Cursor 10 - 38 PowerStar or 32 EuroTech
Cursor 13 - 44 PowerStar or 38 EuroTech

8. EDC Engine Warning Light
• Cursor will always keep going, as faults and problems
occur, the engine de-rates power, torque and governed
engine speed. If this occurs, read the codes and understand
the problem before proceeding
• Fault retrieval
Ignition off/ignition on (engine off)/push diagnostic switch
1 flash - OK, if flashes long and short - record and review.
Repeat (push the diagnostic switch again) until all codes are
recorded
• Fault clearing
Ignition off/push diagnostic switch down for a couple of
sec’s/ignition on while still holding the diagnostic switch
down for another couple sec’s, repeat if necessary
• If EDC red lamp is for engine/vehicle safety/warning
systems
- Continuously on – serious/safety related fault
- Blinking - Very serious/safety - pull over and stop
• Remote starting/stopping engine by having the
“key on/park brake on/transmission in neutral/cab
tilt(EuroTech)” and push the engine mounted buttons for 5
secs each to operate.
9. Getting Going
• Ignition on, check oil level in the overhead console act as
required.
• Tap brake pedal to clear EDC warning lamp.
• Start engine –with the foot the accelerator pedal.
• Brake/Accelerator pedal interlock – brake will only over
rule accelerator pedal to bring the engine back to idle when
accelerator is used first.
10. Driving Cursor
• Idle off the mark with manual transmissions.
• The engine (w/- EuroTronic) may automatic increases rev’s
to warm the engine quickly to 500C
• Limp Mode - the driver has control, this is a safety related
issue to ensure the truck can be parked in a safe position.
The engine will continuously de-rate and will not shut down.
• Make the engine work, by having it lug all the way down to
the bottom of the green band.
• Use a Skip (block) Shifting Technique for best performance
and fuel efficiency.
• Do not accelerate with the engine operating in the Yellow
ITB Band.
• Progressively apply the accelerator pedal.
11. Cursor with Synchromesh
• Fully disengage the clutch, do not double-
clutching/throttle blip
• Move the gear lever ”firmly and progressively”
• Splitter, pre-select, push clutch pedal to the floor stop.
• There are 2 interlocks – range which prevents selecting
low range above about ≅30 km/hr and 1st/2nd gear which
prevents selecting these gears above ≅15km/hr.
12. Cursor with Constant Mesh
• Faster gear changes are required due to Cursor
responsiveness.
• Selecting a “moving off” gear by waiting or leave in gear
while stopping, then select the “moving off” gear. There is
no clutch brake.
