Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake   or   in   an   exceptional   situation   (e.g.   driver  
t

aken   ill,   under   instruction,   etc)   a   continuous  
p

B

raking   takes   place   while   the   control   lever   is  
b

eing   pulled.   It   is   interrupted   if   the   control   lever

m

essage   "Parking   brake   control   faulty"   will   be  
d

a

ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
  emergency   braking   should   only   be
