4.2.5 Special Functions
Special Functions let you perform bi-directional tests on electronic parking brake systems of
multiple vehicle brands. The tests let you to deactivate and re-activate brake control system, set
new brake pad thickness after AUDI A8 service, bleed the brake systems and more.
Some tests display a command to the operator. For example, if “Pressing Brake Pedal” displays,
the operator has to press and hold the brake pedal and then continue. Actual tests vary by vehicle
manufacturer, year, make.
