Running gearBrake inspection
| t
| Driving is performed on the test stand. |
| t
| 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. |
| t
| During the testing, observe the instructions of the manufacturer for the test stand. |
Note | When the ignition is switched off, the brake control systems no longer operate. |
| Test, vehicles with front-wheel-drive |
| The brake inspection must be performed on a single axle roller type test stand. |
| The test speed must not exceed 6 km/h. |
| The test stands approved by Škoda comply with these conditions. |
| Test, four-wheel drive vehicles with the Haldex coupling |
| The brake inspection must be performed on a contra-rotative single axle roller type test stand for four-wheel drive vehicles. |
| Contra-rotative means: the test stand rollers of the brake test stand rotate forwards on the one side and backwards on the other side. |
| Thus, a transfer of the braking forces in the drive train is prevented. |
| 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 four-wheel drive vehicles, 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 vacuum has built up. |
| –
| Drive vehicle forwards until the rear wheels are standing on the rollers. |
| –
| Switch off engine and wait 2 seconds. |
| –
| Perform brake inspection at the rear. |
| –
| Start engine and wait approx. 5 seconds until adequate vacuum has built up. |
