When the coolant has reached 105 °C, retarder is deactivated automatically to prevent excessive heating of the engine. CAUTION Using Retarder for any type of deceleration will extend service life of the brake linings.

CAUTION Retarder requires maintenance. The oil filter should always be changed at every replacement interval of the transmission oil.
