WARNING
The service brakes must be used in an
emergency. The
engine compression
brake alone might not stop the vehicle
fast enough to prevent an accident.
The engine compression brake is NOT
intended as the primary brake for the
vehicle, nor is it an emergency brake.
The engine compression brake only
helps the service brakes by using en-
gine back pressure to slow the drive-
train. Use the service brakes for quick
stops. You could be seriously injured if
you relied only on the engine compres-
sion brake to stop the vehicle in an
emergency. Failure to comply may re-
sult in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the engine brake un-
til the engine
oil temperature is above
86°F (30°C). Operation below 86°F
(30°C) could cause severe damage to
the engine. Idle the engine four mi-
nutes at approximately 1000 rpm to
warm the engine before activating the
engine brakes.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with anti-
lock brakes (ABS),
operation of the
compression brake (if turned ON) may
be interrupted if the ABS system de-
tects wheel-slip due to operation on
slippery surfaces.
Ideally (on normal road surfaces), you
should slow your vehicle with the
compression 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.
Compression Brake
Proper use of engine compression brakes.
With the 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.
Compression Brake Controls
Using the 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.
This switch allows you to choose
