Prelude 

The Brake Tester is ready to 
start recording. If the vehicle 
is at a stop, release the brake 
and gently accelerate the 
vehicle to the required speed. 
Apply the brakes by pressing 
on the pedal sensor attached 
to the brake pedal (or by 
using the emergency brake). 
For Service Brakes, the test 
is triggered when the pedal 
sensor detects a load greater 
than 40 Newtons followed by 
the vehicle decelerating by 
more than 0.1g. (Note: both 
must be met). For emergency 
brakes, the test is triggered 
only by the vehicle 
decelerating by more than 
01.g. If the vehicle is in 
motion, you may gently 
accelerate to the required 
speed and follow the same 
instructions as above.
