    The breakes are supposed to be a engaged if you do not acknowledge the alarm. That is how it is irl. You need to acknowledge it for the brakes to not come on.

    Make sure you’ve got both DVD & DSD on. The vigilance will only sound every minute if you haven’t touched the power/brake handle and it can only be heard from the cab.

    The alarm is at a good enough volume to hear.

    I don't have the Class 700 DLC.

    As I understand it, The OP is unable to hear the vigilance alarm on the Class 700. They only know that the vigilance alarm had activated when the emergency brakes are applied. This is similar to the issue on the Class 313.

    It seems, however, that no one has been able to recreate the issue.

    bushy#9581, can you confirm I have understood you correctly?
    Can you hear the AWS sound?

    I’m not sure what the problem is? Could you be tripping the TPWS? Is your volume turned up?
