Deactivate SBC brake system using STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Risk of injury

When activated, the SBC brake system automatically builds up high pressure in the brake system from time to time. The SBC brake system must therefore be deactivated before performing maintenance and repair work.

The automatic extension of the brake pistons during the test may result in serious bodily injury (jammed or crushed body parts).

The brake pressure that is built up automatically may cause brake fluid to escape at high pressure, possibly resulting in serious injuries.

Safety precautions/instructions

Deactivate SBC brake system using STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Never perform maintenance or repair work on an active SBC brake system.

The SBC brake system builds up high pressure and pushes the brake cylinders out automatically when:

The vehicle is opened by remote control.
The driver, front passenger or rear door is opened.
The trunk is opened.
The key is turned to position 1 in the ignition switch.
The brake pedal is operated.
The parking brake is released.
The system performs a self-test (pre-drive check).
