When Foot Brake Activation is enabled the SpeedBrake will only become active if the foot brake is applied Once the driver releases the foot brake the SpeedBrake will deactivate In this condition the foot brake pedal effectively becomes an On switch for the SpeedBrake Only slight pedal pressure is required to activate the SpeedBrake Some drivers will find that this method of brake activation is preferable to constant brake activity To access the Foot Brake Activation selection checkbox from the System Monitor Screen press the center of the 5 way navigation button to access the System Menu Press the Foot Brake button as shown in Figure 4 The on screen text will explain the feature Press the Next button to read the remainder of the text and access the checkbox See Figure 5 To activate the feature press on the checkbox Press the Back button once to return to the System Menu and again to return to the System Monitor screen Note the default condition for the Foot Brake Activation feature is disabled 97233 v 3 0 5 Figure 4 System Menu 1 of 2 SPEED CONTROL Mode SPEED CONTROL mode will use various functions of the SpeedBrake to control the vehicle to a target speed When the SpeedBrake is active and the vehicle is above the target speed braking activity will occur to slow the vehicle down and then to maintain the target speed SpeedBrake activity will include varying the position of the turboc
3. whenever the foot brake is applied the SpeedBrake will effectively switch from SPEED CONTROL mode to ON mode closing the turbo vanes to provide maximum braking and downshifting the transmission according to the selected Strength setting Note This change in braking conditions will not change the PowerPDA display Depending on the vehicle speed and the target speed the driver may or may not notice any difference in SpeedBrake functionality For example if the target speed is 50 MPH and the actual vehicle speed is 60 MPH the SpeedBrake will be selecting maximum braking strategy in an attempt to slow the vehicle down therefore when the foot brake is applied there will be no noticeable increase in SpeedBrake activity However if the actual vehicle speed is only 45 MPH lower than the target speed the SpeedBrake will not be providing any braking effect Therefore when the foot brake is applied braking activity will become much greater and the driver will feel an increase in braking effect This condition is useful when the driver has selected the SPEED CONTROL mode and conditions require the vehicle to slow down or stop such as approaching a highway off ramp 97233 v 3 0 7 To access the Foot Brake Activation selection checkbox from the System Monitor Screen press the center of the 5 way navigation button to access the System Menu Press the Foot Brake button as shown in Figure 4 The on screen text will
