Coupling and uncoupling
WARNING! Not connecting an EBS (semi-) trailer to an EBS truck via
the ABS/EBS plug can result in a longer braking distance, unstable
brake behaviour and unstable vehicle behaviour during critical driving
situations. This can lead to very dangerous situations.
– Always connect the ABS/EBS plug.
Overview of combination possibilities
6.6 CONNECTING THE TRAILED VEHICLE LIGHTS
A 7-pin socket is provided for
connecting the lighting of the trailed
vehicle. Furthermore, there is an
additional 7-pin socket on the truck,
which can be used for connecting
accessories fitted on the trailed vehicle.
The two sockets have different designs
to rule out the possibility of making
incorrect connections. If the trailed
vehicle has a 24-V electrical system, it
can be connected to the electrical
system of the truck without having to
take any special measures.
NOTE: Be aware of the maximum power drawn by the trailed vehicle lights.
When the current is too high, there is a risk of blown fuses and possible loss
of truck and/or trailed vehicle lighting.
