Gas vehicles
Gas vehicles
Vehicle gas
The vehicle gas used in Scania gas vehicles is biogas, natural gas, or a mixture
of these.
Vehicle gas is primarily made up of methane and has a methane content of 75-
97%. Methane is a highly flammable gas that has explosive limits at 5-16%
mixture in air. The gas self-ignites at a temperature of 595°C.
Vehicle gas is essentially colourless and odourless. Pressurised vehicle gas,
CNG, is often mixed with odorants to enable leakages to be detected. Liquid
vehicle gas, LNG, has no added odour, but major leakages are visible as a mist
as the water in the air condenses when it is cooled down by the throttle.
Methane is lighter than air and therefore rises in the event of leakage. This
should be taken into account when leakages occur, for example indoors or in a
tunnel. The gas can cause suffocation in confined spaces. Liquid and cold
methane gas is heavier than air and can run into low points in the event of
leakage. Therefore, ensure good ventilation.
Plate
Gas vehicles are marked at several points with a diamond-shaped symbol with
the text CNG or LNG.
Pressurised vehicle gas, CNG

CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas. The gas tank packages consist of a
number of gas tanks which are positioned together. A truck with a full tank can
hold up to 150 kg of fuel.
The pressure in the gas tank and the fuel system can exceed 230 bar when
refuelling.
327 069
Green symbol for compressed vehicle gas, CNG.

Gas vehicles
Liquid vehicle gas, LNG

LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas. The fuel is cooled to -130°C and then
consists of liquid and gaseous methane. Leaking LNG boils and expands to 600
times the liquid volume at normal pressure. A vehicle with a full tank can hold
up to 180 kg of fuel.
The fuel is kept pressurised in the tanks to 10 bar (g). The pressure in the tanks
and gas lines can vary, up to a maximum of 16 bar, provided that the safety
valves are intact.

Gas vehicles
Gas vehicle components in CNG

The design of the gas tanks and valves varies depending on the manufacturer.
Gas tank package

• On trucks, the gas tank packages are positioned on the frame.
Position of the gas tank packages on trucks.
There are 2 versions of gas tanks: steel or composite. Each gas tank in the gas
tank package is fitted with a solenoid valve, shut-off valve and pipe break
valve.
WARNING!
If the outer casing of composite tanks is damaged, the structure is
weakened, which over time can cause the gas tank to crack.
Gas lines
The gas lines on trucks are routed along the frame and between the tank
package.

Gas vehicles
Safety valves
WARNING!
The solenoid valves are only open when the engine is running.
The gas tanks are equipped with one or more temperature-sensitive fuses. Steel
tanks also have pressure fuses. There is also a pipe break valve which restricts
the flow from the tank if the pressure causes major leakage from a line. If the
pressure exceeds 11 bar on the low pressure side, a safety valve in the pressure
regulator is also opened.
On trucks, the safety valves are located at the rear of the gas tanks, directed at
an inwards angle and a rearwards angle under the truck.

Gas vehicle components in LNG

The design of the gas tanks and valves varies depending on the manufacturer.
Gas tanks
Common positioning of gas tanks:
• On trucks, the gas tank is positioned on the frame.
The gas tanks are made of steel.
The pressure in the tank can be read on a manometer located on the side of the
tank.
The gas tanks are fitted with a solenoid valve, shut-off valve, pipe break valve,
and pressure-activated safety valves.
Position of the gas tanks on trucks.
Gas lines
The gas lines on trucks are routed along the frame and between the tanks.

Gas vehicles
Safety valves
WARNING!
The solenoid valves are only open when the engine is running.
Each tank is fitted with 2 overpressure valves in the rear section. These are
triggered at 16 bar and 24 bar. The safety valves are directed at an inwards
angle and a rearwards angle under the truck.
There is no manual shut-off valve on the gas panel, but there is a manual tap on
each tank. There is a pipe break valve which restricts the flow from the tank in
the event of major leakage from a line. If the pressure exceeds 12 bar on the
low pressure side, a safety valve in the pressure regulator is also opened.

Risk management for gas vehicles

The area must always be evacuated in the event of fire, leakage, or a vehicle
with a damaged gas tank.
Due to a risk of explosion and suffocation, gas vehicles must be declared to be
free of gas before they are taken indoors. If a gas leakage occurs, the gas will
be confined, contributing to an unsafe environment.
Explosion
CNG
The risk of explosion is very small. Temperature fuses are automatically
triggered at 110°C in order to prevent explosion. If the vehicle is equipped with
a pressure fuse, this triggers at 340 bar. Explosive pressure is 450 bar for steel
tanks and 470 bar for composite tanks.
LNG
The risk of explosion is very small. Pressure valves are triggered at 16 bar and
24 bar.
Damaged gas tank

Always evacuate the area around a vehicle with a damaged gas tank.
Vehicle gas expands with the temperature and it is therefore important to lower
the pressure in a damaged gas tank. A damaged gas tank can withstand
pressure temporarily, but if the pressure is raised, e.g. by heat from the sun, the
gas tank may break. Therefore, try to reduce the pressure in a damaged gas
tank in a safe way by shooting holes in the tank from a safe distance.
WARNING!
The pressure displayed on a manometer is the pressure in the pipe system.
The gas tanks have solenoid valves, which are closed when power is cut.
Therefore, always treat the tank as if it is filled with gas, even if the
pressure gauge shows 0 bar.

Gas vehicles
Leakage
WARNING!
Remove all ignition sources in the vicinity of a gas leakage during
evacuation.
WARNING!
The gas can cause suffocation in confined spaces.
WARNING!
Liquid vehicle gas, LNG, is extremely cold. Leakages can lead to personal
injury.
If a high-frequency high whining noise is heard, this indicates that the gas
system has a leak.
Gas leakage from CNG pressurised vehicle gas can also be identified by an
acrid odour if the gas has had an odour added.
Major LNG liquid vehicle gas leakages can be seen as a mist since the cold gas
makes the water in the air condense.
If a gas leakage has been identified, evacuate the area until no sound can be
heard, no mist can be seen and no odour detected.
Pressurised vehicle gas, CNG, is lighter than air and therefore rises in the event
of leakage. Take this into account if leakages occur, for example indoors or in a
tunnel.
Liquid vehicle gas, LNG, is initially heavier than air because it is cooled. It
rises as the temperature increases.

Gas vehicles
Fire
In the event of a fire: If possible, cut off the gas supply by switching off the
engine.
The area around the vehicle must then be evacuated. Cordon off an area of a
radius of at least 300 m around the vehicle. Only then can fire extinguishing
activities be carried out, if they can be performed in a safe way. Otherwise,
wait until the gas has burnt up.
Water or carbon dioxide must never be used to extinguish LNG vehicles. This
can lead to a powerful fire sequence and at worst an explosion. Use a powder
fire extinguisher instead.
Do not cool down the temperature-sensitive fuses on CNG tanks, as this can
cause the safety valves to close or cease to open. This can lead to a terrible fire
or, in the worst case, an explosion
WARNING!
Avoid cooling the tanks or spraying water on the fire. This will result in a
more powerful fire.
WARNING!
The safety valve is triggered at abnormally high temperatures or pressure,
in order to prevent an explosion. This produces a burst of flame tens of
metres long. Evacuate the area in the direction of the safety valve.
WARNING!
Use a powder fire extinguisher.

WARNING!
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves classified for 1,000 V when carrying
out work with a risk of coming into contact with voltage class B.
The hybrid system is powered by voltage class B (650 V); see definition below.
Voltage class A Voltage class B

0 V-60 V DC 60 V-1,500 V DC
0 V-30 V AC 30 V-1,000 V AC

Built-in safety devices

The hybrid system has the following built-in safety devices:
• The hybrid system cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) is orange. The
cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) is insulated from chassis earth.
This means that there has to be contact with both conductors before there is a
risk of personal injury.
• The hybrid system components that pose a fire hazard are equipped with
warning plates that warn of voltage class B (650 V).
• The hybrid system monitors the battery temperature, voltage, current
intensity and electrical insulation level. The hybrid system disconnects the
battery and cuts the power to the cable harness if any results deviate.
• The hybrid system voltage is normally switched off when the 24 V system is
switched off.
• The hybrid system is shut off using the control switch, which is normally
yellow, located in the hybrid power unit.
455 204

Cut all power to the vehicle

WARNING!
out work with a risk of coming into contact with voltage class B (650 V).
WARNING!
Avoid cutting the cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) while the
voltage is on. The system may be energised even if:
• the break switches for 24 V or voltage class B are switched off
• the contactors in the propulsion batteries have been welded in the closed
position.
There is a high risk of an electrical arc that may cause personal injury. Wear
eye protection and rubber gloves classified for 1,000 V.
WARNING!
The electric machine always produces power if the combustion engine is in
operation, or if it for some other reason starts rotating, even if the hybrid
system is otherwise disconnected.
1. Turn off the ignition.

2. Switch off the 24 V system by disconnecting the battery terminals on the 24
V batteries. The 24 V battery is located on the battery shelf behind the cab
on the left-hand side.
Normally, this means that the propulsion battery is disconnected and that
starting the combustion engine is prevented. This in turn, prevents voltage
from the electric machine.
To be sure that there is no residual voltage remaining in the system's
charged capacitor, wait 15 minutes.
3. If the cable harness for voltage class B needs to be cut or becomes
damaged, and if the 24 V system is not accessible, disconnect the
connectors on the propulsion battery. This guarantees that the hybrid
system is disconnected.

Procedure for extinguishing a fire

Propulsion battery fire
If there is a visible fire in the propulsion battery, use large amounts of water to
cool the propulsion battery.
Contact the fire service, which has equipment to extinguish fires in propulsion
batteries for vehicles.
For other vehicle fires, not battery fire

In the event of a vehicle fire where the battery box is intact and not on fire, we
recommend using normal procedures for extinguishing a fire.
The propulsion battery must be protected and cooled down with large amounts
of water.
If the battery box is significantly damaged, large amounts of water must be
used to cool the propulsion battery. It is important to reduce the temperature of
the propulsion battery with water only to prevent the risk of fire and fight any
fire.

Recovery and shunting

Information and instructions must be followed during recovery and shunting to
prevent personal injury and vehicle damage.
Recovery of heavy vehicles should always be entrusted to an authorised
recovery company.
Collision-damaged or suspicious vehicles need to be clearly marked when they
are left at the workshop. Position the vehicle at a suitable distance from
buildings and other vehicles. The area around the vehicle may need to be
cordoned off.
Remember that workshops may have their own local procedures.
Preparatory work
• In the event of recovery from a ditch: unload the vehicle and clear the ditch
of stones etc. that may damage or get caught in the vehicle during recovery.
• Check that the vehicle has not sustained any damage that may cause a short
circuit in the 24 V electrical system. If it has, disconnect the 24 V batteries to
prevent fire.
• When carrying out a recovery on a road, the vehicle should always be lifted
without a load. Alternatively, the front axle weight can be reduced as much
as possible.
• When the VCB system is switched off using S229, the electrical air
compressor will be deactivated. Air must therefore be topped up in the brake
system in a different way. Recovery vehicles usually have an air outlet from
which the vehicle to be towed/recovered can be supplied with air.

Recovery
Please note:
The information about recovery and shunting that follows only applies when:
• the vehicle has not sustained any visible damage due to a collision or other
incident
• The risk of fire is considered low
• The risk of exposure to high voltage is considered low
• No warnings about electrical hazards are displayed on the instrument cluster
(ICL).
If the vehicle is blocking traffic or poses a potential risk, it can be towed with
the propeller shaft fitted. In such circumstances, move the vehicle to a safer
place.
Please note:
Before towing is carried out:
• the vehicle's 15 voltage must be switched off with the starter key on the ICL
• the vehicle's voltage class A (VCA) must be switched off using the red
control switch
• the electric drive system's voltage class B (VCB) must be switched off using
the yellow control switch.
WARNING!
When towing with a fitted propeller shaft:
• the vehicle must not be towed further than 500 metres
• the vehicle speed must not exceed 10 km/h.
WARNING!
When towing with a fitted propeller shaft, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle's propulsion unit, propulsion batteries and other parts of the
electrical system.
WARNING!
It is common for several of the vehicle functions to be disengaged or out of
order during recovery and towing.
IMPORTANT!
Do not lift on the towing brackets.
IMPORTANT!
When towing to a workshop, communicate and position the vehicle in
accordance with workshop procedures.
Please note:

Vehicles fitted with alarms can react at speed and lock themselves even during
recovery. Avoid leaving the starter key in drive mode during recovery or
towing.

The hybrid system

The hybrid system is a parallel hybrid and comprises a diesel engine assembled
with an electric machine. The electric machine is in turn, assembled with the
gearbox. The hybrid system is supplied with energy via one or more propulsion
batteries that are connected to the electric machine via an inverter.
The inverter supplies the electric machine with 3-phase alternating current.
The inverter is cooled with a water cooling system that also cools the direct
current converter. The direct current converter supplies the 24 V battery and
the vehicle's electrical system with 24 V voltage, which is converted from the
propulsion battery's voltage class B (650 V).
455 298
Overview of the hybrid system components with voltage class B and their location.

Components with voltage class B (650 V)

Propulsion battery
The propulsion battery is a lithium-ion battery with voltage class B (650 V).
The propulsion battery is connected to the electric machine via the inverter and
supplies the hybrid system with current.
The propulsion battery is located in the hybrid power unit, which is located
behind the battery shelf on the left-hand side of the frame. The illustration
below shows where on the vehicle components with voltage class B are
positioned.

E166

Voltage class B central electric unit

The central electric unit for voltage class B (650 V) connects the propulsion
battery, inverter, heater and the direct current converter.
The inverter is located in the hybrid power unit, which is positioned behind the
battery shelf on the left-hand side of the frame.

Direct current converter

The direct current converter replaces the alternator and converts voltage class
B (650 V) to 24 V.
The direct current converter is located in the hybrid power unit, which is
positioned behind the battery shelf on the left-hand side of the frame.

Heater
The electric heater heats the propulsion battery if the temperature of the
propulsion battery is below 5°C.
The heater is powered by 650 V and is located in the hybrid power unit, which
is positioned behind the battery shelf on the left-hand side of the frame.

Inverter
The inverter converts the propulsion battery's 650 V DC to 3-phase 400 V AC
to drive the electric machine and vice versa in the event of alternator operation.
The inverter is located in the hybrid power unit, which is positioned behind the
battery shelf on the left-hand side of the frame. It is liquid-cooled and part of
one of the 2 cooling circuits in the hybrid power unit.
The inverter is connected to the electric machine using 3 cables for voltage
class B.

Electric machine
The electric machine is electromagnetic and transforms electric energy into
mechanical energy and vice versa.
It is located between the gearbox and diesel engine and used for propulsion and
braking of the vehicle.

Chemical information on propulsion batteries

Under normal conditions, the chemicals are enclosed in so-called cells within
the propulsion battery. The chemicals cannot leak out into the surrounding
area. The cells usually contain a combination of a liquid and some solid
materials. The liquid in the cells is firmly bonded to the materials.
There is a risk of contact when the contents are converted to gas and vent out
of the cell. This can occur in the event of external damage to one or more cells,
in the event of too high a temperature or overload. When a cell has been
opened or damaged, the electrolyte may be exposed. Exposed electrolytes are
converted to a gaseous state at room temperature. This gas is flammable.
The liquid within the cells is flammable and can be corrosive if it comes into
contact with moisture. If damage occurs and the battery starts to emit steam or
mist, this may irritate mucous membranes, airways, eyes and skin. Exposure
can also cause dizziness, nausea and headache.
Undamaged cells in a battery can handle up to 80° Celsius before starting to
ventilate. If the temperature in the cells is greater than 80° Celsius, the
electrolyte in the cell starts to change into a gas. This may cause the pressure
relief value in the cells to break, and flammable and corrosive gas is released
via the battery pack ventilation duct.

Built-in safety devices

The electric drive system has the following built in safety devices:
• The electric drive system cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) is orange.
The cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) is insulated from chassis earth.
This means that there has to be contact with both conductors before there is a
risk of personal injury.
• The electric drive system components that pose a fire hazard are fitted with
warning plates warning about voltage class B (650 V).
• The electric drive system monitors the battery temperature, voltage, current
and electrical insulation level. The electric drive system disconnects the
battery and cuts the power to the cable harness if any results deviate.
• Voltage to the electric drive system is normally switched off when the 24 V
system is switched off; the control switch is normally red.
• The electric drive system's voltage class B is switched off using a control
switch located on the left-hand side behind the cab; the control switch is
normally yellow.

WARNING!
WARNING!
Avoid cutting the cable harness for voltage class B (650 V) while the
voltage is on. The system may be energised even if:
• the break switches for 24 V or voltage class B are switched off
• the contactors in the propulsion batteries have been welded in the closed
position.
There is a high risk of an electrical arc that may cause personal injury. Wear
eye protection and rubber gloves classified for 1,000 V.
1. Switch off the 24 V system by disconnecting the battery terminals on the 24

V batteries. The 24 V batteries are located on the right-hand side behind the
front wheel.
This normally results in the propulsion battery being disconnected. This
action prevents voltage from the electric machine.
To be sure that there is no residual voltage remaining in the system's
charged capacitor, wait 15 minutes.
2. If the cable harness for voltage class B needs to be cut or becomes
damaged, and if the 24 V system is not accessible, disconnect the
connectors on the propulsion battery. This guarantees that the electric drive
system is disconnected.

Procedure for extinguishing a fire

Propulsion battery fire
If there is a visible fire in the propulsion battery, use large amounts of water to
cool the propulsion battery.
Contact the fire service, which has equipment to extinguish fires in propulsion
batteries for vehicles.
For other vehicle fires, not battery fire

In the event of a vehicle fire where the battery box is intact and not on fire, we
recommend using normal procedures for extinguishing a fire.
The propulsion battery must be protected and cooled down with large amounts
of water.
If the battery box is significantly damaged, large amounts of water must be
used to cool the propulsion battery. It is important for the temperature of the
propulsion battery to be reduced by only using water, to prevent risk of fire and
to fight any fire.

Electric vehicles

Information and instructions must be followed during recovery and shunting to
prevent personal injury and vehicle damage.
Recovery of heavy vehicles should always be entrusted to an authorised
recovery company.
Collision-damaged or suspicious vehicles need to be clearly marked when they
are left at the workshop. Position the vehicle at a suitable distance from
buildings and other vehicles. The area around the vehicle may need to be
cordoned off.
Remember that workshops may have their own local procedures.
Preparatory work
• Check that the vehicle has not sustained any damage that may cause a short
circuit in the 24 V electrical system. If it has, disconnect the 24 V batteries to
prevent fire.
as possible.
• When the VCB system is switched off using S229, the electrical air
compressor will be deactivated. Air must therefore be topped up in the brake
system in a different way. Recovery vehicles usually have an air outlet from
which the vehicle to be towed/recovered can be supplied with air.

Recovery
Please note:
The information about recovery and shunting that follows only applies when:
• the vehicle has not sustained any visible damage due to a collision or other
incident
• The risk of fire is considered low
• The risk of exposure to high voltage is considered low
• No warnings about electrical hazards are displayed on the instrument cluster
(ICL).
If the vehicle is blocking traffic or poses a potential risk, it can be towed with
the propeller shaft fitted. In such circumstances, move the vehicle to a safer
place.
Please note:
Before towing is carried out:
• the vehicle's 15 voltage must be switched off with the starter key on the ICL
• the vehicle's voltage class A (VCA) must be switched off using the red
control switch
• the electric drive system's voltage class B (VCB) must be switched off using
the yellow control switch.
WARNING!
When towing with a fitted propeller shaft:
• the vehicle must not be towed further than 500 metres
• the vehicle speed must not exceed 10 km/h.

The electric drive system

The electric vehicle powertrain is powered by propulsion batteries. An electric
vehicle can have between 5 and 9 batteries.
The propulsion batteries have voltage class B (650 V), which supplies the
electric machine with 3-phase alternating current via an inverter.
The inverter is cooled with a water cooling system that also cools the direct
current converter. The direct current converter supplies the 24 V battery and
the vehicle's electrical system with 24 V voltage, which is converted from the
propulsion battery's voltage class B (650 V).

Components with voltage class B (650 V)

Propulsion batteries
The propulsion batteries are lithium-ion batteries with voltage class B (650 V).
The propulsion batteries are connected to the electric machine via the inverter
and supply the electric drive system with current.
The propulsion batteries are located as shown in the illustration. One is located
under the cab and the others are distributed on the left-hand and right-hand side
of the frame.

Voltage class B central electric unit

The electric drive system contains multiple central electric units for voltage
class B. The number of central electric units depends on the vehicle
specification.
The central electric units function as a safe connection between the
components that are connected to direct current. The central electric units have
to supply the connections with positive and negative voltage. The central
electric units distribute voltage class B to the consumers. To protect the cable

Chemical information on propulsion batteries

Under normal conditions, the chemicals are enclosed in so-called cells within
the propulsion battery. The chemicals cannot leak out into the surrounding
area. The cells usually contain a combination of a liquid and some solid
materials. The liquid in the cells is firmly bonded to the materials.
There is a risk of contact when the contents are converted to gas and vent out
of the cell. This can occur in the event of external damage to one or more cells,
in the event of too high a temperature or overload. When a cell has been
opened or damaged, the electrolyte may be exposed. Exposed electrolytes are
converted to a gaseous state at room temperature. This gas is flammable.
The liquid within the cells is flammable and can be corrosive if it comes into
contact with moisture. If damage occurs and the battery starts to emit steam or
mist, this may irritate mucous membranes, airways, eyes and skin. Exposure
can also cause dizziness, nausea and headache.
Undamaged cells in a battery can handle up to 80° Celsius before starting to
ventilate. If the temperature in the cells is greater than 80° Celsius, the
electrolyte in the cell starts to change into a gas. This may cause the pressure
relief value in the cells to break, and flammable and corrosive gas is released
via the battery pack ventilation duct.


Recovery
Information and instructions must be followed during recovery or towing to
prevent vehicle damage and personal injury.
Recovery should be entrusted to a recovery company authorised for heavy
vehicles.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
Detach the propeller shaft or half shafts if the vehicle is to be towed or
recovered further than 500 metres. If you do not detach the propeller shaft
or half shafts, the gearbox could be damaged. See section Detaching the
propeller shaft and Removal – Half shaft.
IMPORTANT!
Preparatory operations
• Check that no damage has occurred to the vehicle that may cause a short
circuit in the electrical system. If this is the case, disconnect the batteries to
prevent fire.
as possible.
• If it is not possible to start the engine, the brake system must be filled with
air using an alternative method. Recovery vehicles usually have an air outlet
from which the vehicle to be towed/recovered can be charged with air. Your
vehicle has an air intake nipple positioned behind the cab on the driver's side.
NOTE:
Vehicles with alarms can react at speed and lock themselves even during
recovery. Avoid leaving the starter key in the drive position during recovery
or towing.

NOTE:
If the battery voltage of the towed vehicle is low, there is a risk that EST
will not be able to be adjusted without connecting jump leads.
Switch off the voltage to lock the tag axle in its current position.
If the yellow system warning lamp is on:
• The tag axle is centred automatically when the yellow warning lamp is on.
• Switch off the power to lock the tag axle in the centred position.
If the red system warning lamp is on:
• The tag axle is self-steering or locked in the central position.
• In the case of a serious system fault, the tag axle may need to be centred
manually.
– Centre the tag axle manually or tow the vehicle straight ahead until the
tag axle is centred. The ignition must be switched on when the centring
is being done.
– Switch off the power to lock the tag axle in the centred position.

Release the electronic parking brake

Releasing the parking brake by refilling with external air
Connect the compressed air from an external source to the MU connection.

Activate workshop mode for the parking brake.
1. Switch on the voltage with the starter key.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Press and hold the parking brake release for five seconds and turn off the
power with the starter key.
Apply the parking brake via the hand control unit or drive the vehicle at a
speed of more than 10 km/h to deactivate workshop mode.

Releasing the parking brake by filling the parking brake

circuit with external air
WARNING!
Always support the vehicle on stands when working on vehicles with air
suspension. Empty the air bellows.
When working on vehicles without stands under the frame, there is a
considerable risk of serious personal injury. When the bellows lose air
pressure, the frame will drop onto the axles. This will occur when:
– pressurised lines are removed.
– an air bellows is punctured.
– voltage is applied to the valve for the purpose of emptying the bellows.
– the level sensor lever is moved downwards.
Place chocks on the wheels so that the vehicle cannot roll away when the
parking brake is released.
375 444
Fill with air at the connection.
WARNING!
To actuate the parking brake again, the air must be drained via the same
connection.

Releasing the parking brake with inoperative

pneumatic system
If the compressed air system is deactivated, the parking brake can be released
by refilling with air from one of the tyres or from another pneumatic system.
Air can be filled using the pressurising hose, which can be found in the tool
equipment.
Connect the hose to one of the tyres and to the filler valve 28 or X904 on the
instrument cluster. This enables the parking brake to be released for a short
period of time.
WARNING!
Do not tow the vehicle with the parking brake released with refilled air for
long stretches because the brake will be applied if the air pressure drops.
The pressure indicator on the instrument cluster does not show the pressure
in the parking brake circuit.
Position on bus.

Disabling the parking brake

If there is no other way of releasing the parking brake or if the vehicle needs to
be towed some distance, the parking brake can be disabled using the release
bolt in the spring brake chamber.
WARNING!
When the parking brake is put out of action in this way, there is no parking
brake function. The vehicle must therefore be prevented from rolling before
the release bolts are unscrewed. Use a towing bar when towing.
Unscrew the release bolt until the parking brake is fully released on the
relevant wheel.
WARNING!
When the release bolts are screwed out, the vehicle has no parking brake on
the wheels where the release bolt has been screwed out. Therefore, use
wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

IMPORTANT!
Danger of cross-threading. Clean and oil the bolt. Do not use a nut runner.
If the bolt is damaged, the parking brake will not release even though the
bolt is unscrewed.
The release bolts 1 are available in different versions. The release bolt is
screwed out different lengths depending on the version. Screw until it stops.
On certain versions there is a red pin 2 in the release bolt centre that indicates
that the bolt is screwed out from its normal position.

All-wheel drive vehicles

There are 3 ways of disengaging the gearbox when recovering or towing all-
wheel drive vehicles.
• Via the drive wheel disengagement function (if the vehicle is fitted with
this).
• By removing the propeller shaft from the front and rear axles.
• Through manual resetting to neutral position (if the vehicle is fitted with
this).
Drive wheel disengagement for a short recovery or

towing
Drive wheel disengagement means that you can set the transfer gearbox to
neutral position during towing or when you are using the power take-off on the
transfer gearbox.
Drive wheel disengagement switch
IMPORTANT!
If the vehicle is without power or without compressed air, the propeller
shafts on both the front and rear axle must be detached before towing. This
must be done when towing both with and without a raised front axle.
Avoid damage to the main gearbox and the transfer gearbox when towing by
first taking the following action. If the transfer gearbox is fitted with a power
take-off, you must take the following action before activating the power take-
off.
1. Turn the starter key to drive mode.
2. Put the gear lever in neutral position and the range switch in its upper
position, high range. If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox, put
the drive mode selector in neutral position.
3. Activate the drive wheel disengagement switch.
The instrument cluster will indicate that propulsion has been disengaged.
IMPORTANT!
When drive wheel disengagement is activated, the main gearbox must also
be in neutral position. Otherwise the transfer gearbox will be damaged due
to a lack of lubrication. This does not apply to special versions which are
equipped with a power take-off or a built in oil pump.

Removing propeller shafts

If the vehicle is recovered with the axles having wheels in contact with the
ground, the propeller shaft should be removed from the driving axle which has
wheels in contact with the ground.
Manual resetting to neutral position when towing

For vehicles fitted with ZF transfer gearboxes.
In the event of problems with the pneumatic system for the transfer gearbox,
or if the vehicle lacks compressed air, you can place it in neutral position for
towing using an adjusting screw on the transfer box.
416 104
1. Loosen the lock nut.

2. Screw in the adjusting screw until it stops.
NOTE:
Adjusting screws must be reset by trained mechanics.
