WARNING Risk of accident with fre‐
quent-stop brake deactivated
If you do not stop the vehicle using the
service brake, e.g. when rolling to a stop, the
frequent-stop brake will not be activated. The
vehicle may roll away.
#
Always brake the vehicle to a standstill
using the service brake in order to acti‐
vate the frequent-stop brake.
The frequent-stop brake uses less compressed air
than the parking brake. Use the frequent-stop
brake if you frequently pull away and stop for
short periods of time, e.g. in refuse collection
operation. The frequent-stop brake does not
replace the service brake or the parking brake.
You will find further information on stopping in
the "Pulling away and stopping" section
(
/
page 204).
If you switch the ignition off while the frequent-
stop brake is applied, the frequent-stop brake will
remain applied. An event window is shown in the
instrument cluster/on-board computer and a
warning tone sounds.
Vehicles with automated manual transmis‐
sion: when you activate the frequent-stop brake,
crawler mode is deactivated automatically. You
can find information on crawler mode in the
"Automated manual transmission" section
(
/
page 218).

locked. The vehicle may skid or slip away, e.g.
on uphill or downhill gradients.
