AUTOBRAKETM MODULE
SBI-1
CATALOG
98-B-1
In normal stopping situations, the driver activates the yellow
caution lights when approaching a stop (where required),
applies the service brake to bring the bus to a complete stop,
pulls the parking brake to park the bus, and finally, opens the
door to activate the flashing red lights and extend the stop
sign. This final step activates the AutoBrake system, eliminating the need for the driver to activate the parking brake.
The Bendix AutoBrake uses a pneumatic solenoid, powered
by the vehicle's stop arm solenoid circuit. When used properly in compliance with state regulations, AutoBrake's nominal 44 psi rear axle service brake application prevents the bus
from rolling, without having to use the parking brake. When
the driver closes the door to continue on the route, AutoBrake
is automatically released.
AutoBrake is a supplemental brake system, and is not intended as a parking brake. That means the driver still needs
to keep their foot on the brake pedal. If the driver removes his
or her foot during the AutoBrake application, a warning buzzer
and amber dash lamp will activate. The buzzer and lamp will
deactivate when brake pressure is reapplied or the parking
brake is engaged.
AutoBrake kits are available for both sequential and non-sequential systems. Follow the test procedure shown here to
identify the appropriate kit for your vehicle.

Test procedure to determine if your bus has a sequential or non-sequential lighting system
Verify there is power to the flasher unit indicating the system is on. Open the bus door without
turning on the amber lamps. If the stop arm extends and red lights flash, the bus has a nonsequential lighting system and the correct Bendix AutoBrake kit to order is part number 5011053.
If the stop arm does not extend and the red lights do not flash, the bus has a sequential lighting
system and the correct Bendix AutoBrake kit to order is part number 5008285.
