Checking Brakes on Test Stand


Note:
1. Check tires for damage
2. Check tire treads
3. Check tire pressures





On cars equipped with ASC+T or DSC, the system must be deactivated with the switch. ASC+T/DSC indicator lamp in instrument cluster must light up!

The brakes must be at normal operating temperature. To achieve this, brake the car several times to slightly warm and dry brake disks and drums.

Caution: You should only use brake dynamometers whose test speed is less than 5 km/h.

You must follow without fail the guidelines contained in the operating instructions of the relevant test stand manufacturer.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle and the system and also personal injury.

The maximum test duration for four-wheel drive vehicles is 3 minutes per axle! If the test has to be repeated, the vehicle must in the meantime be driven over a distance of at least 1 km to ensure that the transfer case is sufficiently lubricated.
