Wheel circumferential force
≤
300 N
1st tooth: Do not allow braking force to increase relative to

Indicator lamp can be lit.
2nd tooth: Braking action can begin.
Indicator lamp must be lit.
3rd tooth: Braking action must begin.
4th tooth: Increasing braking action.
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) max. 30
%
from highest value (shortly before wheel lockup).
A readjustment must be carried out in event of larger deviations of
wheel circumferential force.
Braking with locked wheels must be possible with the parking
brake.
Basic setting of the parking brake is required whenever:
