Trailer Brake Lever

The trailer brake lever is used to apply the trailer ser-
vice brakes without applying the truck or tractor ser-
vice brakes. It is usually mounted on the right-hand
control panel. See Fig.
tially or fully applied, but in any partially on position it
will be overridden by a full application of the service
brake pedal. Move the lever down to apply the trailer
brakes; move the lever up to release the trailer
brakes. The lever will automatically return to the up

Antilock Braking System

The Meritor ™ WABCO® Antilock Braking System
(ABS) passively monitors vehicle wheel speed at all
times, and controls wheel speed during emergency
stops or wheel lock situations.
During emergency or reduced-traction stops, fully
depress the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a
safe stop. Do not pump the brake pedal. With the
brake pedal fully depressed, the ABS will control all
wheels to provide steering control and a reduced
braking distance.
The ABS is designed to communicate with a trailer
ABS, if they are compatible. Compatibility will result
in the illumination of the trailer ABS lamp during ve-
hicle start-up and fault detection. The trailer ABS
lamp will not illuminate unless a compatible trailer is
connected to the tractor.

Vehicles with ABS may have Automatic Traction Con-
trol (ATC). On these vehicles, the ATC system auto-
matically limits wheel spin during reduced-traction
situations. In normal braking applications, the stan-
dard air brake system is in effect.
ATC includes a deep snow and mud option to in-
crease available traction on extra-soft surfaces like
snow, mud, or gravel. A switch labeled ATC will be
located on the dash. See
to temporarily allow more drive wheel spin. The acti-
vation of the deep snow and mud option is indicated
by a flashing WHEEL SPIN lamp. Press the switch
again to cycle the system back to normal operation.

NOTICE
The deep snow and mud option is intended to be
used under specific slippery conditions that re-
quire momentary increased wheel spin. Using
this option for an extended period of time may
damage the brake system.
