- At the first tooth, no braking effect should be present.
- At the 2nd tooth, braking action can begin and the indicator light may be lit.
- At the 3rd, tooth, braking action must begin and the indicator light must be lit.
- At the 4th tooth, braking action increases.
- At the 5th tooth, wheel circumferential force must be at least 1100 N at one of the two rear wheels, and at least 1000 N at the other wheel. Wheel circumferential force differential (left to right) maximum 30% from highest value (shortly before wheel lockup). A readjustment must be carried out in event of larger deviations of wheel circumferential force. See PARKING BRAKE under ADJUSTMENTS.
- Braking with locked wheels must be possible with the parking brake.
- The ABS/ASC warning lights, if on, will automatically switch off by switching off engine, waiting at least 30 seconds, restart engine and drive away. Warning lights will go out when speed exceeds 8 mph. (Fault codes will be retained in memory.)
- The parking brake must be readjusted whenever the actuation stroke is greater than 10 teeth.
