Unlock Brake percentage & brake force

Does the brake have enough power for the load?

The achieved braking percentage = braking force / (gross weight · g) · 100, compared with the detailed regulations' requirements for N2/N3 lorries (service brake 5.0 m/s² ≈ 51 %, emergency brake 2.2 m/s² ≈ 22 %). The braking force is your own manufacturer/type-approval value.
