DRIVING _& VEHICLE CONTROL
PAC BRAKE RETARDER (Exhaust Brake)
Your motor home is equipped with a Pac Brake retarder. This exhaust brake
retarder is an auxiliary braking device for slowing down your vehicle. It
reduces the need to use the service brakes, thus reducing wear and tear on the
service braking system.
The exhaust brake.retarder'system is controlled by a master ON/OFF switch
on the dash and a throttle switch located in the throttle system. This unit will
onlyfunction when the masterswitch is ON and the throttle pedal is at or near
idle.
Using-the exhaust brake retarder oli wet or slippery roads-especially on
curves--may cause over-braking of the wheels and cause you to skid. It may
also increase the stopping distance. See the Chassis OWller'sMallual for
additional information. On dry road conditions your exhaust brake retarder
can be left on at all times.
