WARNING
If the ABS/ASR control is activated, the engine brake will be
switched off as long as the control is in operation. On vehicles
where the ABS/ASR control fails to function or on vehicles not
equipped with ABS/ASR, use of the engine brake may lead to the
risk of skidding on slippery surfaces.
STOPPING
Parking
- Move the parking brake lever (from position A) backwards past the locking cam
(position B). The parking brake is now engaged.
- When driving a tractor-trailer, check whether the parking brake lever can be
moved even further backwards from position B against the pressure of the
spring. Press in the parking brake lever and pull it further back (to position C).
This is the test position, the drawn vehicle's brakes are not applied in this
position. Check that the tractor-trailer remains in place.
- Let the parking brake spring back to position B.
- Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels.
- Angle the front wheels so that the vehicle will not move into the traffic stream if it
is accidentally set in motion.
