6.16 Trailer Extending Control
Vehicle type
Semitrailers or drawbar trailers that are adjustable in length and equipped with a
4S/3M system.
Purpose
Equipped with this function, vehicles that are adjustable in length can be extended
and retracted with greater convenience for the driver and without using additional
tools (such as brake wedges or other components installed in the trailer).
Function
The final multi-axle combination is braked and the trailer is extended by the towing
vehicle.
The function has different modes of operation depending on the type of vehicle:
Semitrailer
With semitrailers the function can be selected in combination with the parameter
Without load-dependent braking pressure LSV
.
If the function is activated by a switch or the SmartBoard, the multi-axle combina-
tion is braked with full braking pressure (without LSV characteristic curve) so that
the trailer can be extended by driving the towing vehicle slowly.
Drawbar trailer
Here the
Brake rear aggregate only
parameter can also be selected. In this case,
only the rearmost axle (axle group) is braked so that the towing vehicle can extend
the trailer by driving slowly forwards.
