Driving
NOTE: When ABS is active, the retarder switches off for as long as ABS is
in operation.
NOTE: Using the retarder as described in this chapter results in a
comfortable driving experience.
However, to obtain maximum performance of the retarder;
– start braking with the steering column switch in position C, which would
also activate the engine brake and
– when using manual gear shifting, keep the engine revolutions in the blue
area of the rev counter.
WARNING! With the gearbox in manual mode, select a higher gear to
prevent the engine from exceeding the maximum engine speed (red
area of the rev counter).
WARNING! If the retarder braking performance is reduced or shut off
due to overheating, use the service brake to reduce vehicle speed.
