INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Ultimate Advantage motor home, which has been carefully designed, engineered and quality built by Winnebago Industries, Inc.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Please read this operator’s manual complete­ly to understand how everything in your coach works before taking it on its “maiden voyage.”
This manual is a guide to safe operation of the features, equipment and controls in this coach. Some equipment, such as the vehicle chassis and certain electronic systems or appliances, have their own comprehensive, manufacturer supplied manuals or information sheets which describe operation of these products in great detail. This manual will refer you to the manufacturer’s in­formation included in your Owner I whenever necessary.
SUBJECT ICONS - To make it easy for you to find information you’re looking for, we have placed convenient, pictorial symbols called “icons” beside many of the subject headings in this manual. The icons correspond to the subject matter of the section. These icons were designed similar to the familiar international symbols which identify public facilities such as restrooms and handicap access. There are several examples of icons on this page.
PAGE ICONS - The icons at the upper cor­ners of each page correspond to the primary con­tent of each main section of the manual, such as LP Gas, Electrical, Plumbing, etc. This means you can flip through the manual either forward or backward and know exactly which main section you are looking for just by watching the icons at the top of the page. This means less paging back and forth.
We also urge you to read the complete Chassis Operating Guide provided by the chassis maker and all other operating infor­mation provided by our equipment suppliers and manufacturers. This is contained in your
Owner I
NFOCASE.
NFOCASE
This manual should be kept in the vehicle at
all times for personal reference. The operator’s manual, I are to be considered permanent components of this vehicle. They should remain in the vehicle when sold to provide the next owner with impor­tant safety, operating and maintenance informa­tion.
NOTE: The descriptions, illustrations, and spec-
NFOCASE and chassis operating guide
ifications in this manual were correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to change specifications or design with­out notice, and without incurring obliga­tion to install the same on products previously manufactured.
SPARTAN CHASSIS OPERATING GUIDE
Throughout this manual, frequent reference is made to the vehicle chassis operating guide. The chassis guide is the operator’s manual pro­vided by Spartan, the manufacturer of the chassis on which this motor home is built. Consult the chassis guide for operating safety and mainte­nance instructions pertaining to the chassis sec­tion of the motor home.
CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
OWNER’S INFOCASE
Your InfoCase contains information supplied by manufacturers of individual appliances and equipment installed in your motor home.
Consult this information regarding the opera­tion and care of appliances, accessories and spe­cial equipment.
OPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT
Some equipment described in this manual may not apply to your coach.
BEFORE DRIVING
Before sitting in the driver’s seat, always check around your vehicle to be sure you have proper clearance for maneuvering. If necessary, have a passenger help guide you out of a difficult parking space.
Although your coach features automotive conveniences like power steering and power brakes, driving a motor home is different from driving a car. A motor home is larger and heavier than an automobile, so it requires more stopping and passing distance, and more parking and ma­neuvering space than a car does.
signs. Know the height of your coach so you can observe posted clearance limits. Also, remember that some bridges, old ones in particular, may not support the weight of your motor home. Know the weight of your unit and observe any posted weight limits.
Remember: Always use your seat belt and be sure your passengers do so as well. We also ad­vise making frequent rest stops while traveling to relieve stress on yourself, your passengers and your vehicle.
SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE
Your Ultimate Advantage dealer will be glad to provide any additional information you need, as well as answer any questions you might have about operating the equipment in your motor home. When it comes to service, remember that your dealer knows your vehicle best and is inter­ested in your satisfaction. Your dealer will pro­vide quality maintenance and any other assistance that you may require during your own­ership of this vehicle.
If you need warranty repairs while traveling, however, you may take your motor home to any Winnebago or Itasca dealership and they will as­sist you.
Always be aware of the size of your motor home. The added height of rooftop accessories or luggage boxes may cause clearance problems around some tunnels, canopies and hanging

WARRANTY
Your new Ultimate Advantage is covered by a factory warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This warranty should be validated immediately and returned to the factory by your dealer. For additional information, see your “New Vehicle Limited Warranty” included with this vehicle.
DRINKING AND DRIVING
Winnebago Industries supports the recom­mendations of the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving.
· Exercise your good judgment and encourage
others to do the same.
· Know the legal limits and do not exceed
them.
· Also know your personal limits, which may
be lower than the legal limits.
· Should you ever exceed your limits, find
alternative transportation; call a cab, ask a
friend to drive you home or call a family
member to come and get you.
The presence of alcohol in significant levels in the blood increases the probability that the driver will be involved in an accident.
INTRODUCTION
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Winnebago Industries, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Winneba­go Industries.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and understand all instructions and pre­cautions in this manual before operating your new motor home. Throughout this manual, cer­tain items are labeled NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING. These terms alert you to precautions that can involve risk to your vehicle or to your personal safety. Read and follow them carefully.
NOTE: Indicate special points of information.
CAUTION
Indicates that a failure to observe can cause damage to vehicle or equip­ment
WARNING
This symbol is used to alert you to precautions that involve your per­sonal safety as well as vehicle dam­age. Read and follow them carefully.
Listed below are some safety precautions that must be adhered to. These precautions as well as others that involve damage to equipment are also listed in the appropriate areas in this manual.
· Make sure all passengers have seat belts fas­tened in a low and snug position so the force exerted by the belt in a collision will be spread across the strong hip area. Pregnant women should wear a lap-shoulder belt whenever possible, with the lap belt portion worn low and snug throughout the pregnan­cy.
· Before driving, secure dinette chairs with re­tainer strap provided as shown in Section 8.
· Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats while the vehicle is moving.
· Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while vehicle is moving.
· Examine the escape window and be familiar with its operation, but do not use except in an emergency.
Inspect the fire extinguisher monthly for proper charge and operating condition. This should also be done before beginning a vaca­tion or any extended trip.
DRIVING
GENERAL WARNINGS
· Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be occupied while the vehicle is moving.
· All seats which can be positioned, such as swiveling, sliding, reclining, or footrest out, must be placed in a fully upright and swivel­locked position with footrests retracted while the vehicle is moving. Some swivel lounge chairs are designed to lock in a forward facing position, while others lock in an aisle facing position. Be certain these seats are secure from swiveling before traveling.
· Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving.
· Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehi­cle.
· Do not operate the cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic, or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained.
· Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.

SECTION 1
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING
COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN AND;
2. OPEN WINDOW.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
· Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake operation in a safe area to be sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is noticeable.
· Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect handling and/or perfor­mance of your vehicle. Refer to your chassis manual for related information.
FUEL & LP GAS
· All pilot lights must be extinguished and ap­pliances turned off while refilling the fuel tank or LP tank.
· Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank or LP gas tank.
· Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by burned gasoline, diesel fuel or LP gas in items such as the range, chassis engine, gen­erator engine, refrigerator, furnace and water heater. They contain carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, colorless and poisonous gas.
· Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gas­oline or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion may re­sult. LP gas containers are equipped with safety valves which relieve excessive pres­sure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
· Do not alter the LP gas system at any time or in any way.
· Do not fill LP gas container(s) above 80 per­cent of capacity. Overfilling the LP gas con­tainer can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
1-2
· Never use an open flame to test for LP gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps on LP system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and door latched securely.
· Never connect natural gas to the LP gas sys­tem.
· When lighting range burners do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow gas to es­cape before lighting match.
· Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
· LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators are equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or ex­plosion.
· The following warning label is located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an ad­equate supply of fresh air for combustion.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING
COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN AND;
2. OPEN WINDOW.
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside a recreational vehicle is limited due to its size. To avoid danger of axphyxiation, pro­vide proper ventilation when using the gas rangetop or gas oven. It is especially impor­tant that the gas oven and range top not be used for comfort heating. Danger of asphyxi­ation is greater when these appliances are used for long periods of time.
LP GAS LEAKS
P
The following label is located in the vehicle near the range area. If you smell gas within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the proce­dures listed.
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP GAS ALARM
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detec­tor which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP gas is heavier than air, the detector is located on a cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Green
(Active)
If The Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any electri­cal switches. Immediately turn off the main LP tank valve and all LP appliances, open all win­dows and roof vents, and leave the coach until the alarm stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular inter­vals, a leak may be present. Contact your dealer or an LP gas service center to have the problem corrected before using the LP system again.
If the coach batteries become extremely drained, an amber light on the face of the alarm will come on and in some cases the LP alarm may begin to sound on its own. This condition typical­ly occurs only during storage situations when battery charge is not being restored by the invert­er charger or solar charger.

WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. When testing for gas line leaks with a soapy water solution, DO NOT use a detergent containing ammonia or chlorine. These sub­stances may generate a chemical reaction causing corrosion to gas lines, resulting in dangerous leak con­ditions.
Power Connection
A green light on the face of the alarm shows when the unit is active. The red button is used to reset the alarm.
The gas alarm is powered by the coach batter­ies. If the battery cable is disconnected from the batteries, auxiliary battery switch is shut off, or the circuit breaker is tripped, the alarm will not

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
work. The LP gas alarm breaker is located on the coach breaker fuse panel shown in Section 6.
Because the LP gas alarm is connected direct­ly to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a small amount of current. Even though this current draw is slight, it could drain the coach battery during storage periods of 30 days or longer. We recommend turning the auxiliary battery switch off or disconnecting the battery cables from the auxiliary battery during extended storage periods to avoid discharge.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s information entitled “Your LP Gas Detector” in the Owners InfoCase for further instructions on nuisance alarms and care and testing of the LP gas detector.
LOADING
· Store or secure all loose items inside the motor home before traveling. Possible over­looked items such as canned goods or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range, or free-standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.
· Be aware of GVWR, GAWR and individual load limit on each tire or set of duals. (See “Loading the Vehicle” in Section 4.)
· Never load the motor home in excess of the gross vehicle weight rating or the gross axle weight rating for either axle.
ELECTRICAL
· Careless handling of electrical components can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical components or appliances while feet are bare, while hands are wet, or while standing in water or on wet ground.
· Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause personal injury. Do not plug the utility power cord into an outlet which is not grounded and do not adapt the plug to connect to a recepta­cle for which it is not designed.
· Do not attach an extension cord to the utility power cord.
· Be sure that all electrical appliances to be used contain 3-prong plugs for proper grounding.
· Avoid overloading electrical circuits. Re­place fuses or circuit breakers with those of the same size and amperage rating only. Never use a higher rated fuse or breaker.
· Use caution when handling or working near electrical storage batteries. Always remove jewelry and wear protective clothing and eye covering. Avoid creating sparks.
NOTE: Your motor home’s load capacity is
designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your motor home.
MAINTENANCE
· Do not remove the radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Always check cool­ant level visually at the see-through coolant reservoir.
· Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by a jack.
· Do not mix different construction types of tires on the vehicle such as radial, bias or belt­ed tires, as vehicle handling may be affected. Replace tires with exact size, type and load range.
· Do not attempt to start the vehicle by hot wir­ing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
WARNING
Some components in this vehicle con­tain formaldehyde based adhesives which may release formaldehyde fumes into the air for an unknown period of time until total dissipation occurs. Individuals who are allergic to formaldehyde gas fumes may experience irritation to eyes, ears, nose and throat. Reaction in infants may be more severe. Although long range effects are not well understood, testing to date has not revealed any serious health effects in humans at the level of emission from these products.
IMPORTANT
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehicle by opening all windows and circulating the air with a fan.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
· Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil change.
· Whenever a change in the sound of the ex­haust system is noticed.
· Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED VE­HICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a garage, except to move vehicle in or out of area. When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED area with the engine running for any more than a short period, adjust heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle as follows:
1. Set fan to medium or high speed and vent
control to air.
2. On vehicles equipped with air conditioning,
set fan to medium or high speed and set con­trol to obtain maximum vent air.
Rear windows should be closed while driving to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the vehicle.
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
If your suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the passenger compartment, have the cause deter­mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly main­tained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is recommended that the exhaust system and body be inspected by a qualified motor home service center.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon monox­ide (CO) alarm, located on the ceiling in the bed­room area.

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The CO alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery and contains a sensor that is designed to detect toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes resulting from incomplete combustion of fuel. It will detect CO gas from any combustion source such as the fur­nace, gas range/oven, water heater, refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric generator engine.
· Patented biomimetic sensor mimics the
human response to Carbon Monoxide.
· Test/Reset provides for one time alarm
silence and multiple warning silence. Also tests alarm circuitry, microprocessor, battery and horn.
· Red light flashes once every thirty seconds in
normal operation.
· Continuous yellow light with a beep every
three seconds indicates an unhealthy CO level.
· Continuous red light and pulsating alarm sig-
nal a dangerous CO condition.
· Battery operation provides protection 100%
of the time. Low battery signal alerts consum­er of need to replace battery.
· 85 decibel alarm assures waking during
sleeping hours.
EMERGENCY EXITS Emergency Exit Windows
Your motor home is equipped with an emer­gency exit window on the left (driver’s) side of the bedroom which functions as an escape exit in an emergency situation.
WARNING
Use emergency window for emer­gency exit only. Do not test for proper operation.
Use care when exiting emergency window, as broken glass may be present in the exit area.
The side mounted escape window is secured by two safety latches and can be opened by first releasing these two latches and then pushing out­ward on the lower part of the window. Identify which type of emergency exit window is in your vehicle.
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm periodically (at least monthly) to check the func­tion of the alarm and condition of the battery. If the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the battery may be weak and need replacement. (Press the TEST button to be sure before replac­ing the battery. If the alarm sounds, the battery may still be okay. If the alarm still beeps every few seconds, check the smoke detector also. The “low battery” warning beep is similar on many alarm devices, so the origin of this electronic sound can be deceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the information provided by the manufacturer, which is included in your Owner’s InfoCase. It includes information on precautions, operational testing, and battery/sensor replace­ment.
Lift Both Handles Up Push Out on Bottom of Window
Instructions for removal are also located on a label on the glass for quick reference and for pas­sengers who may not be familiar with the exit. Never remove or destroy this label.

SAFETY DEVICES
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located
near the floor behind the passenger seat.
SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SMOKE ALARM
Your motor home is equipped with a smoke alarm located on the ceiling in the galley and lounge area. This alarm meets U.L. Standard 217 and NFPA Standard 74 for operation of smoke detection devices.
We recommend that you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the infor­mation supplied in your Owner’s InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire extinguisher for proper charge at least once a month in accordance with National Fire Protec­tion Association (NFPA) recommendations as stated on the label. If the charge is insufficient, the fire extinguisher must be replaced.
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by discharging it. Partial discharge can cause leakage of pressure or contents which would render the unit inopera­tive when needed. When using the fire extinguisher, aim the spray at the base of the fire.
1. The smoke alarm should be tested for correct operation each time the vehicle is brought out of storage, before each trip, and at least once a week during motor home use. To test the electronics, firmly depress the button. To test that smoke reaches the sensor, blow smoke in a careful, fire-safe manner into your smoke alarm.
Press to Test
2. Your smoke alarm will not work without power. Never remove the battery to quiet the alarm. When your smoke alarm “beeps” about once a minute the battery is weak.

FUEL SELECTION
Refer to your Spartan chassis operating guide for the manufacturer's recommendations on prop­er fuel selection.
Winter Fuel Waxing and Anti-Gel Additives
In sub-freezing temperatures, #2 diesel fuel can form small wax crystals that become trapped in the fuel filter and block the fuel flow to the engine, causing it to stall out. At sub-zero tem­peratures, the fuel can congeal and turn “slushy”. If this happens, the only remedy is to have the vehicle towed into a heated facility to allow the fuel to warm up and become fully liquid again.
During winter time, most truck stops and reputable filling stations have winter blend diesel fuels available that are less susceptible to waxing.
There are also commercially available prod­ucts, typically called anti-gel additives, to add to diesel fuel while filling the tank to inhibit wax formation in freezing temperatures.
Consult your Spartan chassis guide or Cum­mins engine guide for more information on fuel requirements and additives.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Diesel fuel, especially #2 grade, can foam up while being pumped into the tank. Sometimes this foam can cause the pump nozzle to shut off before the tank is actually full. Allow the foam to settle then resume filling at a slower flow rate until the tank is full.
Diesel Fuel Tank Capacity .........100 gal. diesel

Idling Diesel Engine
CAUTION
The Cummins diesel engine must be set to 1000 rpm fast idle mode if idling for more than 10 minutes or the engine will be severely damaged.
To Increase Idle Speed: While idling, press the Cruise Control ON button, then press the SET button momentarily. This will automatically set the engine idle speed to 1000 rpm. The engine idle speed can be increased (or ‘ramped up’) by holding the SET button and releasing at the desired rpm speed - anywhere from 1000 rpm to a maximum of 1700 rpm. To Decrease Idle Speed: Press the Cruise Con­trol RES button momentarily to ‘bump down’ rpm’s in preset increments, or press and hold to ‘ramp down’ to 1000 rpm.. To Cancel High Idle: Press the Brake pedal to return to normal engine idle speed - especially before shifting the transmission when you are ready to drive off. You can also do this by press­ing the cruise control On/Off or Cancel buttons. Cold Weather Starting: Please note the follow­ing cold weather starting precautions. These labels are also located in appropriate areas of the coach. Failure to follow these precautions could cause serious damage to your diesel engine.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
Your coach is equipped with an engine block heater to assist starting in freezing temperatures. The power cord is located in the rear cargo com­partment on the driver side of the coach. When plugged into the receptacle, the heater is connect­ed to both the shoreline and the auxiliary genera­tor, so a separate extension cord is not needed. The power switch is a standard household light switch located above the OnePlace panel.
Diesel Engine Heater Switch
To Use the Engine Heater
With the shoreline cord plugged into a shore­line hookup, turn on the engine heater power switch on the forward bedroom wall on the driv­er’s side of the coach.
If a shoreline hookup is not available, just start the auxiliary generator to provide power to the engine heater.
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater switch off after starting the engine. The heater will keep operating for as long as it is supplied with elec­tricity. If the switch is left on, the engine heater will come on each time you hook up the shoreline cord or start the generator.

PARKING BRAKES
The parking brakes are applied by pulling out­ward on the large yellow knob on the dash to the left of the steering column. Push the knob in to release the brakes.
Exhaust Brake Switch
Parking Brake Knob
Use the parking brakes whenever the vehicle is parked. Never try to drive the vehicle with the park brake applied. This can cause excessive wear on the brakes and may damage the transmis­sion.
NOTE: It is normal to hear an occasional burst
of air pressure from the rear of the vehi­cle. This is an automatic moisture purg­ing feature of the air brake system. See the Brakes section of your Spartan chas­sis manual for instructions on periodic draining of brake air tank.
JACOBS® EXTARDER™ ENGINE EXHAUST BRAKING SYSTEM
To Use the Exhaust Brake: The exhaust brake
activation switch is located on the lower left side of the dash. Press and release the ON side of the switch to activate the exhaust brake system. The exhaust brake will operate whenever you let up on the throttle pedal while the switch is ON.
Press and release the OFF side of the switch to deactivate the exhaust brake system and return to chassis brakes alone.
How It Works: The Jacobs device that generates “braking” power by con­trolled restriction of the engine’s exhaust gas flow.
When the exhaust brake is activated, a valve closes off the engine’s exhaust causing the ex­haust back pressure to increase, which causes the vehicle to slow down.
The increased back pressure would normally stop the engine except the forward momentum of the vehicle keeps the drivetrain and the engine turning.
This controlled back pressure helps to regulate a vehicle’s downhill speed, such as on mountain­ous or hilly roads. It also provides “braking” on level or near-level roads.
