Set the engine brake or retarder on automatic, and they are controlled by the brake paddle. ↳ 18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker 2; ↳ Euro Truck Simulator Each truck has 2 braking modes, one is the classic air brake (the one you naturally use with the down arrow key), the other is the retarder. Since using air brake reduces the amount of air (once is finished, you have to stop the truck, put the neutral and accelerate in order to refill it), the retarder lets you brake without any matters. the retarder is used to maintain the speed , more so if youre going down a hill . you would need to turn off auto ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or auto engine brake i forget exactly the name of it or regular use but when you turn on CC it will use that and the acelerator to maintain the set speed . The retarder also has multiple settings. I keep getting a message on the Sat Nav saying that the retarder is activated and to press ' to turn it off. I've been pressing it repeatedly, and it isn't turning off. Could this be why my truck hasn't gone above 17mph for the last half an hour? Also, before this problem my Cruise Control stopped working. Heeeelp! For example in Iveco, the cheapest with gearbox without retarder and with automatic retarder function enabled in the game options, with cruise control the retarder did not work because of course, the gearbox does not have it, but when pressing the pedal brake,i listen the gear whine and the green light retarder on the dash turns on, in American . i mean, they should be off or on if i want more realism? since most transmissions are automatic now, i guess these system also.. but i prefer to ask to more experienced people thanks Euro Truck Simulator 2. You have probably set the "automatic retarder" just remove it in the options and you will be fine #14. Outlaw Trucker. Jan 16, 2018 @ 1 One of the primary advantages of the retarder system over the various engine-brake systems is exactly the fact that it connects through the output shaft of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ - remains in effect regardless of whether the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ is engaged or not and it's effectiveness is not dependant on the particular gear engaged.. there is a setting for "automatic retarder" think its under the gameplay options tab. i am disabled and drive an automatic car IRL now with them when you come off the power the engine/gearbox both help to slow the car down so in normal driving circumstances you only need to use the footbrake to come to a complete stop. The cruise controll is what it sounds like. A mechnism that keeps the speed constantly. It works in the way that you assaign into the truck´s system to hold that speed which it does. The retarder is a helping brake for using in like downhills or braking into a traffic jam or turning. #4.
