If no test rig is available for four-wheel drive vehicles, the brake test can also be carried out on a standard single-axle rolling road as follows: |
–
| Drive the vehicle onto the test rig counter to the direction of travel (backwards). |
Caution Before starting the rollers, briefly engage 1st gear. In vehicles with automatic gearbox, briefly shift to “D”. This switches off the freewheel lock. Ensure that the front wheels are driven backwards. |
|
–
| Carry out the brake test. |
–
| Drive the vehicle onto the test rig in the direction of travel and ensure that the rear wheels are driven forwards. Carry out the brake test. |
Caution Do not engage reverse gear whilst the rollers are running. |
