7.15 BRAKES
Park brake and service brake
WARNING! Not applying
the park brake after
parking the vehicle can
cause the vehicle to move
unintentionally. This can
lead to serious injury and
damage to the vehicle.
– Always apply the park
brake after parking the
vehicle.
NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with a park brake warning system. If the
driver's door is opened while the engine has been switched off and the park
brake has not been applied, an acoustic signal is given and a warning
symbol is shown on the instrument panel.
WARNING! If the park brake is released while the steering lock is still
engaged, the vehicle cannot be steered when rolling off. This can lead
to serious injury and damage to the vehicle.
– Do not release the park brake while the steering lock is still
engaged.
WARNING! Engaging the park brake when driving on a slippery road
surface may cause the engine to stall. Any emergency steering
mechanism can then no longer be used. This can lead to unstable
vehicle behaviour resulting in very dangerous situations.
– Do not apply the park brake when driving on a slippery road
surface.
– While driving, the park brake may only be used as an emergency
brake.
The service brake is operated by the brake pedal. If the service brake fails to operate
owing to insufficient air pressure, the park brake can be used as an emergency brake.
Moving the park brake handle slowly backwards as far as the stop will gradually brake
the vehicle or combination in a controlled manner.
