Emergency braking in the event of failure of both brake circuits
Emergency braking in the event of
failure of both brake circuits
Danger.
A failure in brake circuits 1 and 2 will
jeopardise the operating safety and road-
worthiness of the bus. Stop the vehicle
immediately (traffic conditions permitting).
Have the brake system checked by an
OMNIplus Service Partner immediately.
Note:
In the event of a failure in brake circuits
1 and 2, it is possible to initiate emer-
gency braking using the parking brake
lever.

Pull release ring (1.1). Pull lever (1)
slowly towards applied position (b)
and hold it in the desired position to
prevent it from automatically return-
ing to released position (a).
Danger.
If it is necessary to perform emergency
braking using the parking brake, do not
allow the parking brake lever to engage
in the parking position. Keep release ring
(1.1) in the applied position.
The bus is braked at the rear wheels
only.
Note:
Parking brake lever (1) can be moved
rearwards to any position to enable the
driver to prevent the rear wheels from
locking and to moderate the braking ef-
fect.
Danger.
Risk of accident. Applying the parking
brake deactivates the anti-lock braking
system (ABS). You should exercise even
more caution when driving on slippery
roads because there would be a risk of
rear wheels locking.
