Operation
Brake pressure/supply pressure (operating pressure)
ing at unsafe distances from the vehicle
in front or at too high a speed around
bends.
Danger.
If the bus is towing a trailer that does not
have ABS, this trailer could be overbraked
if the brakes are applied with maximum
force. In this event, the driver must keep
the trailer in view by checking the rear-
view mirror. The bus equipped with ABS
remains steerable, thereby enabling the
driver to keep the vehicle combination
stable.
Brake pressure/supply pressure
(operating pressure)
Note:
Precondition: minimum operating pres-
sure of 5.5 bar, “Brake pressure/supply
pressure” display selected.
Danger.
Risk of accident. A supply pressure
of at least 6.8 bar in the individual
compressed-air circuits is required to
ensure the operating safety of the
bus. A leaking compressed-air brake
system jeopardises the operating safety
and roadworthiness of the bus. Stop
immediately (traffic conditions permitting)
if the supply pressure in the brake system
is too low. Have the brake system
checked at an EvoBus Service Partner.
Apply the service brake.
M54_00-1162-71
The following is shown on the screen:
“Brake pressure” (A) in brake circuit
1 and 2 if the service brake is ap-
plied.
Note:
The brake pressure is approximately 9 bar
when the service brake is fully applied.
Release the service brake.
