# 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
