In the case of vehicles with ASC+T or DSC, the system must be deactivated with the switch. The ASC+T / DSC indicator lamp in the instrument cluster must light up!
The brakes must be at normal operating temperature. To do so, gently warm up the brake disks/brake drums while dry by braking the vehicle several times.
Important:
Use only dynamic brake analyzers whose test speed is < 5 km/h.
