Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

(VRL007949; Edition 06.2015)
The type of brake system installed in the vehicle is indicated
among other things by the corresponding PR number on the ve‐
hicle data sticker.
Example of a vehicle data sticker:
In this example the vehicle is equipped with the following brakes:
♦ Arrow 1 - intended place for rear brakes
♦ Arrow 2 - Front brakes - 1LJ
The vehicle data sticker can be found in the spare wheel well and
in the service booklet.
Note

3.1 General
♦ The drive is provided by the roller dynamometer.
♦ For vehicles with a manual gearbox, ensure that the gear lever
is in neutral for the test. For vehicles with an automatic gear‐
box, ensure that the selector lever is in »N«.
♦ For the test, observe the specifications provided by the man‐
ufacturer of the roller dynamometer.
