a moderate level of braking force
by slightly delaying transmission
downshifts. This setting is
recommended for moderately loaded

LOW strength setting achieves a
lower level of braking force and is
recommended for lightly loaded or
unloaded vehicles. The LOW setting
may also be used for daily driving

CaUTION: Using the HIGH setting
with a lightly loaded vehicle
will result in VERY aggressive
braking. Become familiar with the
characteristics of the Strength
Settings before encountering
