Parking Brake - Mercedes-Benz Conecto Manual

Parking brake valve
Caution:
The parking brake spring actuators re-
quire a release pressure of 5.8 to 6.4
bar. At low supply pressures, there is a
risk that the brake may not be fully re-
leased, that the friction pads may make
slight contact while the bus is in motion
and that the brake may be subjected to
unnecessarily high thermal loads. When
the parking brake is released, the relev-
ant icon on the screen must go out. If
the compressed-air system for the parking
brake is damaged, it is possible to release
the parking brake using the emergency
release device.
Caution:
Do not apply the parking brake unless the
bus is stationary.
Danger.
Always apply the parking brake before
you leave the driver's area.
Danger.
Check that the hand lever is fully locked
in place.
