WARNING
The service brakes must be used in an
emergency. The engine compression
brake or exhaust brake alone might
not stop the vehicle fast enough to
prevent an accident. The engine com-
pression brake or exhaust brake is
NOT intended as the primary brake for
the vehicle, nor is it an emergency
brake. The engine compression brake
or exhaust brake only helps the serv-
ice brakes by using engine back pres-
sure to slow the drivetrain. Use the
service brakes for quick stops. You
could be seriously injured if you relied
only on the engine compression brake
or exhaust brake to stop the vehicle in
an emergency. Failure to comply may
result in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the engine compres-
sion brake or exhaust brake until the
engine oil temperature is above 86°F
(30°C). Operation below 86°F (30°C)
could cause severe damage to the en-
gine. Idle the engine four minutes at
approximately 1,000 rpm to warm the
engine before activating the engine
brakes.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with anti-
lock brakes (ABS), operation of the en-
gine compression brake or exhaust
brake (if turned ON) may be interrupt-
ed if the ABS system detects wheel-
slip due to operation on slippery surfa-
ces.
Ideally (on normal road surfaces), you
should slow your vehicle with the engine
compression brake or exhaust brake
(where permitted by law) and use the
service brakes only for stopping
completely. Operating this way will greatly
prolong the life of the service brakes.
Engine Compression Brake
With the engine compression brake switch
ON, the brake automatically creates its
braking effect when you remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal.
The brake switch is located on the
accessory dash panel. It controls whether
the brake is ON (ready to slow the vehicle
down) or OFF (no braking action).
1.
Do not use the engine compression
brake to slow the vehicle down
when you are bobtailing or pulling
an empty trailer.
2.
Make sure the brake is OFF before
starting the engine.
3.
After the engine is started, warmed
up and you are ready to get under
way, turn the engine compression
brake switch ON for added braking
effect.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the Ea-
ton Vorad® system, operation of the
compression brake may be automati-
cally activated.
Engine Compression Brake
Controls
There are two switches on the dash panel
that control the engine compression brake.
A master switch turns the system ON or
OFF. A second switch, located next to the
master switch, controls the braking effect.
