Parking brake
WARNING: Do not use the parking brake
as a service brake. The parking brake
must not be applied when the vehicle is
moving or used to slow the vehicle
down. Failure to obey this warning can
cause damage to the vehicle and serious
injury from loss of control of the vehicle.
WARNING: Always apply the handbrake
when the vehicle is stationary or when
you leave the cab. Not applying the
parking brake can cause the vehicle to
move suddenly without warning and
cause serious injury.
NOTE: If you park on a sloping road it is
advised to angle the steering wheel to the
road side curb so the vehicle is retained in
case of accidental movement.
Applying the parking brake
1. Stop the vehicle using the service brake.
2. Set the gear selection to N (neutral).
3. Move the parking brake lever rearwards
until it drops into a locked position.
To make sure the parking brake lever is locked
in position, check the following:
• The parking brake lever has lowered into
position so it is mechanically locked.
•
The parking brake warning light is
illuminated in the instrument panel.
Releasing the parking brake
Before you can release the handbrake, the air
pressure in the brake system must be equal to
or greater than 8 bar. The pressure can be
monitored on the bottom of the instrument
panel.
NOTE: As a fail safe, the brake actuators
will lock in position if the air pressure in the
system is not correct to supply the brake
system.
1. Lift the lever from position (1) then move
the lever to position (2).
