ENGINE BRAKE

WARNING
A vehicle speed retarding device (such as
engine brake) is not intended to replace the
service brake systems on your vehicle nor
intended to bring your vehicle to a stop. A
vehicle speed retarding device is only
intended to reduce the speed of your vehicle
under certain conditions.
Several types of engine brake can be installed
or are standard on certain engines. All are
used to reduce wear on the vehicle brake
linings.
WARNING
When descending significant grades, use the
service brake as little as possible. If the
engine does not slow the vehicle to a safe
speed, apply service brake and shift to a
lower range. Let the engine (and engine
brake) slow the vehicle. Keep brakes cool and
ready for emergency stopping.
3. Cancel REGEN
From the Aftertreatment main menu, you can cancel a REGEN cycle.
