ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary braking system of the compression relief type in a vehicle having a diesel engine. The vehicle is provided with an accelerator pedal, a shift lever provided with a knob and a clutch pedal. The auxiliary braking system is armed by a switch means mounted, at least in part, on the knob of the shift lever. The arming switch means includes a microswitch mounted within the knob and a push-button activator protruding therefrom. The switch means may include a relay positioned elsewhere, contacts of which are in series with a series circuit arranged to deliver energizing current to means which enable the auxiliary braking system. The switch means may be in parallel with a principal arming switch which alternatively may be used to arm the sytem, the principal arming switch being positioned on the dashboard of the vehicle.
