Diesel Engine Exhaust Brake
(If Equipped)
The exhaust brake is available on vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine. It is located in the exhaust system.
The exhaust brake is used to help slow the vehicle and
may assist the vehicle’s foundation brakes. The use of
the exhaust brake will assist the braking of the vehicle
and prolong the life of the foundation brake lining
material.
The exhaust brake switch is
located in the instrument
panel switchbank.
Push the bottom of the switch to turn the exhaust brake
on. When you push the top of the switch, the exhaust
brake will turn off.
There is an indicator light on the instrument panel
similar to the symbol on the switch, that will come on
when the exhaust brake is active. See “Exhaust Brake
Indicator Light” in the Index for more information.
When using the exhaust brake, the proper gear range
selection is important. The exhaust brake will be most
effective if the gear range selected is the lowest possible
range that does not allow the engine rpm to go more
than 200 rpm above rated (full load) rpm. If you have a
Caterpillar diesel engine, do not exceed 2900 rpm. If
you have a DURAMAX (LG4) diesel engine, do not
exceed 3200 rpm. If you have a DURAMAX (LB7)
diesel engine, do not exceed 3600 rpm.
If you have an automatic transmission and press this
button, the transmission will downshift to a factory
default setting of fourth gear. To change the default
setting, or for more information on factory default
settings, contact your dealer for assistance.
