Automatic Traction Control
General information on ABS and automatic
traction control.
Your truck/tractor ABS is equipped with an
automatic traction control (ATC) feature.
This feature is controlled by a switch on the
dash. Do not allow the traction control lamp
to remain on continuously for an extended
length of time. Extended continuous use of
the ATC can cause overheating of the drive
wheel brakes. Engine torque or vehicle
speed should be reduced to eliminate
wheel spin and prevent excessive
application of the ATC system. Except for
checking for proper illumination of the ABS
and traction control warning lamps when
first starting the vehicle, and for monitoring
these lamps while driving, no special
operating procedures are required. For
detailed system description, see literature
for your specific ABS that was provided
with your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS)
Information on using the anti-lock brake
system.
This vehicle may be equipped with an anti-
lock braking system (ABS). This ABS
reduces the possibility of wheel lock-up. If
a wheel is about to lock during braking, the
ABS will automatically adjust air pressure
to the brake chambers on the appropriate
wheel(s) to prevent wheel lock-up. The
ABS is automatically turned on when the
ignition switch is turned on.
WARNING
The Anti-Lock Brake System is a criti-
cal vehicle safety system. For the
safety of you and others around you,
have the vehicle submitted for periodic
preventive maintenance checks as
well as having any suspected prob-
lems immediately checked by an au-
thorized dealer. Failure to properly
maintain your brake system can lead
to serious accidents. Failure to comply
may result in death, personal injury,
equipment or property damage.
