Brake test of the parking brake on the brake test stand

• Position the vehicle with its rear axle on the brake test stand.
• Position the selector lever in selector lever position N (neutral).
• The brake test stand starts automatically.

  The control unit runs a plausibility check (comparison of wheel speed) to identify within a few seconds that a vehicle is on the brake test stand and changes to brake test stand mode.

  If brake test stand mode has been activated and the EMF actuators are open, the indicator light for the electromechanical parking brake (EMF) flashes slowly.
