The use of a Banks Brake does not
increase the load capacity of your
vehicle. Gross combined Weight
Rating specifications should always
be adhered to. The Banks Brake will
allow you to slow your vehicle more
effectively within your vehicle’s weight
specifications.
oPERATIoN/DRIVING
Now that you are familiar with the
features that are available with Banks
Brake, it is recommended that you
experiment with the various settings
prior to using the braking features in
a towing or extreme driving situation.
Under light load conditions on local
streets, the MED (medium) setting
is an appropriate starting point to
provide a reasonable demonstration
that the brake is functioning.
NOTE: Whenever the brake is active
and the footbrake is applied, the
vehicle will not upshift until the
throttle is pressed. This is also true
even if cruise control is resumed.
For some model vehicles, whenever the
brake is active the vehicles Tow-haul
mode will activate. The tow-haul mode
will deactivate when the Banks Brake is
deactivated.
WHEEL SLIP DETECTIoN
The Banks Speedbrake continuously
monitors wheel speeds to detect
possible slippage caused by braking.
If this occurs, the brake will shut off
until traction is regained and then
remain off for 30 seconds. This will be
communicated as a fault via the Banks
iQ Status Indicator.
