Using the Brake System<br />
Anti-Lock Braking System<br />
This vehicle is equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System<br />
(ABS). ABS reduces the likelihood of a wheel locking. If a<br />
wheel is about to lock during braking, the ABS will automatically<br />
adjust hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers on the<br />
appropriate wheel(s) to prevent wheel lock-up. The ABS is<br />
automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned on.<br />
CAUTION: The center pin of the 7-way trailer light<br />
line may be constantly powered for ABS. Make<br />
sure it will not accidently turn on trailer equipment.<br />
ABS Warning Lamp<br />
The ABS warning lamp will come on briefly, then go off, when<br />
the key switch is first turned on. If the lamp remains ON until<br />
a speed of 4 mph (6 km/h) is reached, then goes OFF, there<br />
may be a stored fault code. If the lamp remains ON when a<br />
speed in excess of 4 mph (6 km/h) is reached, there may be<br />
an active fault in the ABS system.<br />
CAUTION: If the ABS warning light does not illuminate<br />
when the ignition is first turned on, there<br />
is a problem with the bulb or wiring. You should<br />
have this checked as soon as possible.<br />

ABS WARNING INDICATOR<br />
WARNING! No indication will be given via the<br />
dashboard warning lights or buzzer if tires of the<br />
wrong size are installed on your vehicle. The<br />
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is calibrated for<br />
the specific tire revolutions per mile. Use of a tire<br />
and/or wheel size different from that originally<br />
installed on your vehicle may cause the ABS system<br />
to not function during a hard braking event.<br />
This could cause an accident or serious personal<br />
injury. Consult with your <strong>Peterbilt</strong> dealer<br />
before using a different tire and/or wheel size<br />
than was originally installed on your vehicle.<br />
