Volvo G970 - Manual (Page 13)

Ultimate precision
Proven on job sites since 1999,
Volvo Creep Mode sets today’s
benchmark for fi ne-grading control
by allowing the operator to grade
using only the hydrostatic front-
wheel drive; the rear tandems roll
freely behind to minimize scuffi ng
and rework. Creep Mode is easily
selected via the transmission
controller. Operating at speeds
under 2.5 mph (4,0 km/h), the
front-wheel-only drive is controlled
simply by pressing the accelerator
pedal. Creep Mode allows extremely
smooth starts and stops, eliminating
ridges often left by the moldboard in
a conventional grader. The result is
more precise passes in less time to
complete the job.
