What are the effects of keeping the exhaust brake on for a long time on a vehicle?
1 Answers
Keeping the exhaust brake on for a long time has no effect on the vehicle. The correct usage of the exhaust brake is as follows: 1. The exhaust brake cannot replace the service brake for emergency braking or be used as a parking brake, but it can be used simultaneously with the service brake; 2. When the exhaust brake is in use, the accelerator pedal should be at the zero position, and the fuel injector stops injecting fuel. Pressing the accelerator or clutch pedal will automatically turn off the exhaust brake to prevent engine stalling when stopping and exhaust brake activation during fuel injection; 3. Do not use the exhaust brake on icy or slippery roads to avoid driving skids and slippage; 4. The braking power of the engine exhaust brake depends on the engine speed. To ensure optimal braking performance, select the appropriate vehicle gear when using the exhaust brake on long downhill slopes.
