2020 Seneca dash engine brake button

Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to turn on and control my engine braking. There is a button labeled spd ctl. Is that it? Do the plus and minus switch above it work with it?
Also, is there an emergency start button ?
Thanks

Center dash, lower row second from the left just below the passenger power window button.

In the attached it is the button with the indicator lamp lit.

Engine brake button

Thanks but my seneca does not have the panel you photographed. Anything different on the new super Cs?

The 2020 Senecas I have seen photos of have the same dash as my Accolade. This, is the panel between the two seats and not the panel to the left of the steering wheel. Also in the pictures I've seen of the 2020 Seneca the Engine Brake switch is the same switch in the same position as I explained. It is the button with the orange indicator illuminated.

If you have a different dash please post a pic so we can see what the difference is.

BTW, my chassis is the 2020 S2RV Freighliner.

Here is a link to a post showing a picture of the exhaust brake button. A new unit I recently looked at had the same icon on the button. On the dash to the right of the steering column as EA37TS depicted.

Others are correct on the engine brake switch, its a simple operation on just turning it on an off, bit adjustment. The speed control and +/- is your cruise control switches. If you have certain switches to ask about it is easiest to post a picture of it. All the Freightliner Factory switches are covered in Freightliner Chassis Manual.

There is a battery connector button on the bottom, left side of the steering column. It is a black housing with a white button, you press that to connect the chassis and house batteries together.

Smile Thanks Robbbr

Thanks, I do have that button although why it is not labeled engine brake I don’t know. The small icon on the button does not mean anything to me! Thanks to everyone for input.

Actually the circular icon is the standard icon for brake. For ABS braking systems you have the same icon with ABS in the center rather than the exhaust pipe icon.
