DDEC VI SYSTEM
Cruise Control can be overridden at
any time with the throttle pedal if
the vehicle is operating at less than
the programmed Max Road Speed.
Additionally, using either the brake or
the clutch will disable Cruise Control.

Data Recording Capability

The DDEC VI contains the ability to
extract detailed data on the engine's
use and performance using DDEC
Reports software. This data, known
as DDEC Data, is stored in the CPC
and contains information on engine
performance (such as fuel economy,
idle time, time in top gear) and critical
incidents (such as detailed diagnostic
data records and hard braking events).
DDEC Data can be downloaded using
DDEC Reports software to produce
reports.
DDEC Reports software is part of
the Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link®
7.0 (DDDL 7.0) software package.
DDDL 7.0 requires at least a Pentium
II computer with at least 256 MB of
RAM.

Engine Brakes

Engine brakes are enabled by a
dash-mounted On/Off switch with a
separate intensity switch to select low,
medium or high braking power.

LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
To avoid injury from loss of
vehicle control, do not activate
the Engine Brake system under
the following conditions:
□ On wet or slippery pavement,
unless the vehicle is equipped
with ABS (anti-lock braking
system) and you have had
prior experience driving
under these conditions.
□ When driving without a trailer
(bobtailing) or pulling an
empty trailer.
□ If the tractor drive wheels
begin to lock or there is
fishtail motion after the
Engine Brake is activated,
deactivate the brake system
immediately if this occurs.
The engine brakes will only operate
when the Accelerator Pedal is fully
released. Disengaging the clutch
will prevent the engine brakes from
operating.
