EXHAUST BRAKE
This feature increases engine braking at
higher engine speeds to provide better
grade descent control with less brake and
transmission wear and tear.

carrying heavy loads or trailering.
Benefits of engine braking are:
• Lower brake temperature.
• Reduced brake fade.
• Longer brake life.
• Improved driving and trailering control.

Diesel Engine Exhaust Brake

You can use this feature with tow/haul or
progressive range selection to provide
further increased engine braking. The
transmission upshifts to prevent the engine
from entering the red zone on the
tachometer.
Manual Engine Braking
1. Press the button to switch on manual
engine braking.
2. Release the accelerator pedal to
maximize engine braking.

lower gears with progressive range selection
or manual shifting independent of pressing
the brakes.
Note: You can also use manual engine
braking with cruise control to improve grade
descent control.

control, the speed control system uses the
selected engine brake mode, transmission
gears, and brakes to maintain the set speed
and distance to the vehicle being followed.
Automatic Engine Braking

automatic engine braking.
2. Release the accelerator or brake pedal.
