ENGINE EXHAUST BRAKE
Optional - Model 34V on Freightliner diesel
chassis only
To Use the Exhaust Brake: The switch is lo-
cated on the lower left side of the dash.
Exhaust Brake Switch
Press and release the ON side of the switch to
activate the exhaust brake system. The exhaust
brake will operate whenever you let up on the
throttle pedal while the switch is ON. An indica-
tor light near the switch will glow while the ex-
haust brake is activated.
Press and release the OFF side of the switch to
deactivate the exhaust brake system and return to
chassis brakes alone.
How It Works: The Jacobs® Extarder™ is an
engine compression retarder that generates
"braking" power by controlled restriction of the
engine's exhaust gas flow.
When the exhaust brake is activated, a valve
closes off the engine's exhaust causing the ex-
haust back pressure to increase, which causes the
vehicle to slow down.
The increased back pressure would normally
stop the engine except the forward momentum of
the vehicle keeps the drivetrain and the engine
turning.
This controlled back pressure helps to regu-
late a vehicle's downhill speed, such as on moun-
tainous or hilly roads. It also provides "braking"
on level or near-level roads.

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

See chassis manual or "Instrument Panels" in
this section for location of hazard flasher switch.
See also Section 3 for further operating informa-
tion.
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH
(Ford Chassis Only)
Vehicles built on Ford chassis are equipped
with an inertial type switch that shuts off the fuel
pump in the event of collision. This switch must
be manually reset to resume the fuel supply to the
engine.
See your Ford chassis operating guide for lo-
cation and reset procedures for this switch.
NOTE: It is possible to accidentally trigger the
fuel pump shut-off switch by abruptly
striking an object such as a curb or park-
ing block. If your vehicle exhibits symp-
toms of running out of fuel immediately
after such an occurrence, the fuel pump
shut-off switch may need to be reset.
Consult your chassis operating guide for
additional information.
ENTRANCE DOOR LOCK
AND HANDLE
The entrance door may be opened by pulling
the door handle outward. When the door is
locked, neither the inside nor the outside door
handle can be operated. It can be locked and un-
locked from the outside of the vehicle by insert-
ing the key into the lock and turning.
