Driver Control Switches

Driver Control Switches - Ops - EuroIV, EuroV

Vehicles with manual transmissions allow the driver to turn the engine brake on and off and select a Low, Medium, or High level of braking.

  • The "Low" setting on this switch activates braking on two cylinders, yielding about one-third engine braking horsepower.
  • The "Medium" setting on this switch activates four cylinders, supplying about two-thirds engine braking horsepower.
  • The "High" setting on this switch activates all six cylinders, providing full engine brake horsepower.
Note: There is very little difference in the exhaust sound when the engine brakes are activated in either the medium or high position.
