During safety training the follo-
wing instructions must be follo-
wed:
• Observe the warning and con-
trol lights before each braking
exercise
• Drive a longer distance after a
maximum of five braking exer-
cises to charge the battery
• Switch off consumers like seat
and hand grip heaters, radio,
navigation system and accesso-
ries connected to the sockets
• Switch off the ignition during
breaks and conversations. If the
engine is switched off with the
emergency ON/OFF switch, the
light and all electronic systems
remain switched on and load the
battery
How can the shortest
braking distance be
achieved?
During braking the dynamic load
distribution between the front and
rear wheel changes. The heavier
braking is, the higher the load on
the front wheel. The greater the
wheel load, the more braking force
can be transferred.
To achieve the shortest possible
braking distance, the front brake
must be operated quickly and with
increasing force. This optimally
utilizes the dynamic load increase
on the front wheel. At the same
time, the clutch should also be
disengaged.
