General points

♦ The test stand is used as drive.
♦ During the testing, the idling speed must be set on vehicles
with manual gearbox and the driving position »N« must be
engaged on vehicles with automatic gearbox.
♦ When conducting the test, observe the specifications provided
by the manufacturer of the test rig.
Note
The brake regulation systems do not function when ignition is off.
4.2

Checking vehicles with front-wheel drive

The brake test must be performed on a single-axle roller dyna‐
mometer.
The test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.
The test stands approved by Škoda comply with these conditions.
4.3

Testing vehicles with four-wheel drive

The brake inspection must be performed on a contra-rotative sin‐
gle axle roller type test stand for vehicles with four-wheel drive.
Contra-rotative means: The test stand rollers of the single axle
roller type test stand rotate forwards on the one side and back‐
wards on the other side.
Thus, a transfer of the braking forces in the drive train is preven‐
ted.
The wheel which rotates forwards is measured each time during
the test, this requires the need of two braking tests per axle.
The test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.
The test stands approved by Škoda comply with these conditions.
If a test stand is not available for vehicles with four-wheel drive,
the brake inspection can also be performed on a standard single
axle roller type test stand as follows:
– Drive the vehicle forwards onto the rollers.
– Switch off engine and wait 2 seconds.
– Perform brake inspection at the front.
– Start engine and wait approx. 5 seconds until adequate vac‐
uum has built up.
– Drive the vehicle forwards until the rear wheels are standing
on the rollers.
– Switch off engine and wait 2 seconds.
– Perform brake inspection at the rear.
