What is the correct way to use exhaust brake?
1 Answers
Exhaust brake should be used correctly as follows: 1. Exhaust brake cannot replace service brake for emergency braking, nor can it be used for parking brake, but it can be used simultaneously with service brake; 2. When using exhaust brake, the accelerator pedal should be at zero position, and the fuel injector stops injecting fuel. When the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal is pressed, the exhaust brake will automatically turn off to prevent engine stalling when stopping and exhaust brake operation during fuel injection; 3. Do not use exhaust brake on icy or slippery roads to avoid driving wheel slip and skid; 4. The power of engine exhaust brake depends on engine speed. To ensure braking effect, select an appropriate vehicle gear when using exhaust brake on long downhill roads.
