Trailer and semi-trailer air brakes
Trailer (semi-trailer) air brakes control and tractor brakes
control is done in such a way that the braking effect of
both vehicles is synchronized.
Note: When travelling down a steep slope with a trailer or
semi trailer equipped with air brakes, it is necessary to
brake with a foot brake before the descent starts!
When travelling with a connected trailer or semi-trailer foot brake pedals must be connected
and secured with a flap! When braking with a single brake pedal, air brakes of a trailer are not in
operation.
Warning indication of air pressure drop
The decrease of the air pressure is indicated by the
message on the display of the instrument panel.
The tractor with the trailer or semi-trailer being braked must not continue in operation during
pressure decrease in the air-pressure system until increase of air pressure occurs!
