Emergency Brake Steering

This vehicle is equipped with an emergency steering system that will use individual control of the service brakes, driven by operator inputs to the steering wheel, to steer the vehicle in the event of a primary steering system loss.

NOTE: When emergency brake steering is engaged, vehicle will have restricted function. Stop tractor and place transmission in PARK as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT: Prolonged use of emergency brake steering will damage the service brakes. If brake steering has been used on your vehicle, see your John Deere dealer.

1. In the event of a primary steering system loss, the vehicle will enter emergency brake steering automatically. It can also be intentionally activated when towing the vehicle.
2. The diagnostic trouble code TSB 523329.14 will be displayed and will persist until the key is cycled when emergency brake steering is active.
3. In emergency brake steering, ground speed will be limited to 5 km/h (3.1 mph). If you are above this speed, the tractor will begin to slow itself by downshifting the transmission once emergency brake steering becomes active.
4. Steering performance with emergency brake steering will be reduced. The vehicle will not have the ability to counter rotate. Use small steering commands until you understand how the tractor and implement will respond to your commands. NOTE: This mode of steering is only to be used as backup steering system. If brake steering becomes active, see your John Deere dealer.
