The PZB90 function is similar to the UK AWS function. By default it is disabled.

Pulling away

When driving away from a Station or from a Standing start. First confirm that the T Lights are out, then put the reverser into forwards and set the brakes to release. Move the power handle forwards to start moving. When you get to 5 km/h, the 70 and 85 lights will start to flash, you will need to press the Free Control button to cancel this (end key), and this will then display the 85 light.

If you are using the AFB, move the AFB Lever to select the desired line speed (set speed shown on digits on speedo), Push the power handle fully forwards and move the brake handle one notch rearwards to the "Hold" Position.
