TAG AXLE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
Freightliner
®
Chassis
-If Equipped
Your coach may be equipped with a Tag Axle
Suspension System, which is designed to
increase the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). This system is to be used when the rear
suspension/axle will be loaded to a weight
greater than 20,000 lbs. When certain conditions
arise, air can be exhausted from the air springs to
improve maneuverability or traction on the rear
axle by operating the Tag Axle switch (located on
the driver side trim panel).
Tag Axle Switch Operation
Tag Dump Position
• Press and Hold switch in the TAG DUMP
position for the Tag Axle air pressure to
remain reduced and maintain the
maneuverability or traction benefit desired.
Auto Dump Position
• This mode is activated automatically when in
reverse gear, when the Tag Axle switch is in
the MIDDLE position. The Auto Dump
feature gives you better maneuverability
while driving in reverse.
Off Position
• The Tag Dump mode is inactive when the Tag
Axle switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: If an override event occurs while the
switch is held in the Tag Dump position,
the switch must be cycled on and off to
clear the override command.
Further Information
See the chassis manual provided in your
InfoCase for more information and precautions
on using this feature.
WARNING
Do not use the exhaust brake if road
surfaces are slippery. Using the exhaust
brake on wet, icy, or snow-covered roads
could result in loss of vehicle control,
possibly causing personal unjury or
death, or property damage.
