Brakes
There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser E.
• Motor
brake
• Magnetic
brake
• Handbrake
•
Motor brake: adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill.
•
Magnetic brake: automatic and comes on when accelerator is released. It also
acts as a parking brake when the Mini Crosser is at a standstill.
In an emergency, the Mini Crosser can be stopped instantaneously by turning
the key switch. Please note that this will cause very sharp braking. The rear
wheels will lock!
Must not be used in the normal course of driving!
•
Electric safety brake - if the brake is somehow disengaged on a slope/hill, the
Mini Crosser will brake automatically when it reaches a certain speed. There is
an electric safety feature in the control system, which works even if the battery
is disconnected. This is also the reason why the Mini Crosser cannot be towed
at more than 5 km/h. See the section about towing.
•
Handbrake: intended as an emergency brake and parking brake. It must be
operated with caution when driving in slippery conditions and downhill.
