EMERGENCY FEATURES AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Parking brakes are not designed to be used as
service brakes. For normal driving conditions,
the control valve knob must remain in the down
position.
Note :
Only use the parking brakes to
supplement the service brakes to stop the
motorcoach in emergency conditions. The
stopping distance will be considerably longer
than when using normal service brakes.
Note :
Before releasing the parking brakes
by pushing down the control valve knob, check
the pressure gauges to make sure that the brake
system air pressure is greater than or equal to
95 psi (655 kPa).
Warning :
Always apply the parking brakes
before leaving the driver's seat.
Note :
A beep will sound if the ignition
switch has been turned off without applying the
parking brakes. The same beep will sound if
pressure is still applied to the service brake
pedal.
Note :
The stoplights will automatically turn
on when the parking brake is applied and the
ignition key is turned to the ON position.
