It is accurate. High-pressure air is let into the brake chamber when you depress the brake pedal. The pressure causes the brake mechanism to activate and slow the truck down. If you let the air straight out of the brake chambers before you were done braking you possibly wouldn't even have enough pressure for one complete stop.
Euro Truck Simulator 2. Retarder caused skid! I was going about 110km/h on the highway to Poznan, and a toll was up ahead, so I put full retarder, and something that has never before happened, happened. It seems that my wheels seemed to have locked up or something, I went into a skid and hit into a roadworks barricade.
Most trucks today have automatic gear and a retarder with 5-6 settings where one of them is automatic.. As a simple rule you use engine brake nearly for all kind off slow down, shifting over to foot brake right before you stop.. The retarder you set in auto and it help slowing down when applying the foot brake.., so you'r main brakes don't heat
Originally posted by scugnizzo89: 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

when enabled, the automatic engine brake and retarder are both activated in addition to the air brakes when you hit the brake key. this is separate from using those features manually with their specific keybindings. It allows a faster stop than simply air brakes without having to both hit the brake key and the keys for the engine brake andgobHtGV.
