162 OPERATION
ABS Operation
When operating an ABS-equipped vehicle, the following guidelines should
be used.
• Apply the brakes as normal. If the anti-lock brake system begins to function,
maintain brake pressure. Do NOT release the brakes.
• Avoid rapidly pumping the brakes. The anti-lock brake system automatically
applies and releases the brakes up to five times per second.
• When towing a trailer, watch the trailer through the mirrors. Adjust brake
application as necessary to keep the combination in a straight line. Make sure
the trailer follows the tractor properly.
• An amber trailer ABS lamp on the instrument panel will illuminate for several
seconds at start-up during an initial function check. When a trailer ABS fault
occurs, the lamp will remain illuminated until the fault is cleared. If there is
a loss of communication between the tractor and trailer, the lamp will blink
three times. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)”, page 161 for more
information.
MACK Road Stability Advantage (If Equipped)
The MACK Road Stability Advantage (RSA) is based on the Bendix® ABS-6
Advanced with ESP® (Electronic Stability Program) System. The RSA system
aids the operator in maintaining control of the vehicle in the event of a
jackknife or rollover situation by applying select brakes and reducing engine
power as required by the specific situation. The RSA system, which is integral
with the anti-lock brake system, uses the standard ABS components (such
as wheel speed sensors and modulator valves) along with a Steering Angle
Sensor (SAS-60™) and a Yaw Rate/Lateral Acceleration Sensor (YAS-60™)
package to provide information concerning vehicle movement to the Advanced
EC-60™ Electronic Control Unit.
In most cases, vehicle repairs will not affect function of the MACK RSA
system. However, the following repairs require recalibration of the SAS-60™
sensor after the repair has been made:
• Removal and reinstallation or replacement of the SAS-60™ sensor
CAUTION
Installation of an aftermarket steering wheel may damage the SAS-60™ sensor.
It is therefore recommended that the OEM steering wheel NOT be replaced with
an aftermarket wheel.
