4.10 Brakes

The EBS connector must be connected at all times for the
brake system to function correctly.
Work on the brake system may only be carried out by a
Wabco authorised service outlet .
If malfunction alert EBS/ABS is displayed in the cab,
immediately take appropriate action, depending on the
alert.
4.10.1 General
The trailer's brake system is activated from the cab via the brake pedal. The trailer is standard equipped with a
WABCO electronic brake system EBS-E (Electronic Brake System). This system controls the brake pressure based on
the load weight, the controlled brake pressure from the truck and the stability of the trailer. The integrated ABS
system ensures that the wheels do not block during braking. The RSS system (Roll Stability Support) intervenes if
the angle of inclination of the trailer is too much and the trailer brakes automatically. Malfunction alerts from the
EBS/ABS system are displayed in the cab. These built-in systems influence the braking behaviour of the trailer, but
the driver is and remains responsible for his/her driving behaviour and its possible consequences. If there is no air
pressure, the trailer will remain on the parking brake or will immediately start braking automatically.
The EBS System conforms to:
Directive 71/320/EWG
Regulation ECE R 13 or StVZO
4.10.2 Brake control on trailer
As soon as the red supply line on the trailer is no longer
connected, the trailer will automatically activate the
brakes. To be able to move the trailer, use the neutral
option.
