Yes there is a switch in the cab. Actually 2 switches.
1 switch is for on and off and the other is to set it on high; med; or low power.

You can go into the computer and set up how the jake works.
Set up 1
The cruise switch has no control on the jake system in this set up.
If your foot is on the throttle or the clutch it will not come on.
If the throttle and clutch are in the rest position the jake will automatically come on. The brake pedal has nothing to do with the jake coming on or not.
Set up 2
This works like above if the cruise is off but if the cruise is turned on (does not need to be set at a speed just switch turned to on) the jake will not come on till you touch the brake pedal.

I like set up 2 a lot better. With the cruise set to on you can shift with out the clutch with no fear that the jake will come on each time you let off the throttle to shift. You can coast in traffic for a slow down. But if you need to stop the jake is on helping you bring the rig to a safe stop the second you touch the brake.
