Axle Switches
Some vehicles are equipped with an interaxle
differential lock switch and/or a switch for each
driver-controlled differential lock (DCDL). See
Fig. 4.14.
For more information about differential locks and
using them for traction control, see
Chapter 16 Drive
Axles.
Engine Brake Switches
NOTE: See Chapter 11 Brake Systems, for
detailed information about engine brake
operation.
Whenever vehicle braking is required on good road
conditions, the engine brake may be used in
conjunction with the service brakes. There is no time
limit for operation of the engine brake. However, an
engine brake does not provide the precise control of,
and is not a substitute for, service brakes.
The engine brake control is located on the right-hand
steering-column-mounted lever. At the top position,
the engine brake is off, and at the three lower
positions, the brake is on and the intensity (low,
medium, high) increases with each step down. See
Fig. 4.15
NOTE: Cruise control and safety systems may
activate the engine brake regardless of the lever
position.
Engine Fan Switch
The engine cooling fan can be turned on by the
engine fan switch.
To turn the engine fan on, press the upper half of the
switch. The fan will continue to operate for a set
amount of time and then turn off unless the coolant
temperature is high enough to continue fan
operation. To turn the fan off before the set time
period ends, press the lower half of the switch. See
Fig. 4.16.
