Exhaust brake switch handle is generally located on the right-hand combination switch of the steering wheel. Pull it backward to turn on the exhaust brake switch, and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Note that different vehicle models may vary. Below is relevant information about the exhaust brake: 1. Introduction: The exhaust brake, also known as exhaust braking, is an auxiliary braking system and cannot replace the service brake. A regulating valve is installed on the engine exhaust pipe. By closing this valve, the pressure during the exhaust stroke is increased, utilizing the generated negative pressure to obtain braking force. 2. Function: Its purpose is to reduce or maintain the vehicle's speed without using or minimizing the use of the service brake. However, it cannot bring the vehicle to an emergency stop.
