Abstract
An improved internal combustion engine exhaust brake control device for use in conjunction with an automatic transmission, of the type in which the actuation of manual and throttle-connected switches energize a valve retarding the engine exhaust gas flow and creating back pressure which imparts a braking action on the engine, wherein the improvement comprises a switching device actuated by the manual down-shifting of the transmission that, in conjunction with actuation of the throttle-connected switch, automatically activates the exhaust brake device.
