Warm up brakes.

Check hand brake.

0th tooth

(hand brake released):
Vehicles with manual transmission: Shift lever in neutral position.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: Selector lever in "N" position.
- Without locking differential ≤ 150 N.
- With locking differential ≤ 200 N (possibly odd display).

1st tooth: No increase in braking force with regard to 0th tooth. Indicator lamp can be lit.

2nd tooth: Indicator lamp must be lit.

3rd tooth: Increase in braking force.

5th tooth: The brake force display must have reached ≥ 400 N.

Checking brake force differential at wheel:
Apply hand brake until a wheel circumferential force (measured on brake test stand) of min. 1000 N is reached.

Max. permitted brake force differential right/left ≤35 % (referred to greater brake value).

It must be possible to brake with locked wheels with the hand brake.
