Function of BAS (Brake Assist System)
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
tem)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
#
Depress the brake pedal with full force
in emergency braking situations. ABS
prevents the wheels from locking.
BAS supports you in emergency braking situa‐
tions. If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS
boosts the brake pressure and thus shortens the
braking distance.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed until the
emergency braking situation has passed.
The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to children left unattended in the
vehicle
If children are left unattended in the vehicle,
they could:
R
Open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.

fic.

Operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion, for example by:
R

WARNING Risk of accident on uphill and
downhill gradients
On uphill and downhill gradients, the parking
brake might not be sufficient to secure the
vehicle.
A vehicle with trailer/semitrailer or a loaded
vehicle can roll away.
#
In the check position, check whether
the parking brake alone is sufficient to
hold the complete vehicle.
#
Always secure the towing vehicle and
trailer/semitrailer with the parking
brake and additionally with wheel
chocks.
In the control position, the vehicle or tractor/
trailer combination can only be held via the tow‐
ing vehicle's spring-loaded brake cylinders.
You can find further information about the park‐
ing brake on the trailer/semitrailer in the manu‐
facturer's operating instructions.
