# Automatic Driving Status Switch

### Speed Requirement

* Vehicle must exceed 5 miles per hour
* Status changes automatically when speed threshold is met

### If Status Isn't Switching Automatically

#### 1. Check ELD Connection

* Verify ELD is properly paired to phone app
* Confirm ELD cable is firmly plugged in
* Check ELD indicator lights are functioning
* Confirm using correct truck-specific cable

#### 2. Verify Current Duty Status

* Check that you are not in:
  * Yard Move (YM) status
  * Personal Conveyance (PC) status
* If in YM or PC:
  1. Change status to On Duty
  2. Drive vehicle above 5 MPH
  3. Status should switch automatically to Driving

### Troubleshooting Sequence

1. Check current duty status
2. Verify ELD connection
3. Confirm proper cable installation
4. Test by driving above 5 MPH
5. Monitor for automatic status change

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.matrack.io/eld/readme/categories/matrack-eld-driver-app-guides/automatic-driving-status-switch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
