Driving • The timer can be reset by changing the position of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the final 30 seconds. • When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and the message center will display ENGINE TURNED OFF. • One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system will simulate key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position, initiating normal accessory delay period. • The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system before restarting the vehicle. Note: The engine idle shutdown idle timer will not start if: • The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode. • The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C). • The exhaust emission control device (DPF) is regenerating. STOPPING THE ENGINE Turn the ignition to the OFF position. On E-Series vehicles, to prolong engine life (after extended high speed or maximum GVW operation), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for 7-10 minutes which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down. On F-Super Duty vehicles, to prolong engine life (especially after extended high speed, high ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for 3-5 minutes which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down. COLD WEATHER OPERATION Changing to a lighter grade engine oil also makes starting easier under these conditions. Refer to Engine oil specifications in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter of this supplement. Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperatures. Diesel fuel which has not been properly formulated for the ambient conditions may form wax crystals which can clog the fuel filter. At temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), if the engine starts, stalls after a short time, and then will not restart, the fuel filter(s) may be clogged. For best results in cold weather, use a diesel fuel which has been formulated for the ambient conditions. If you have been using biodiesel, you may need to use a fuel with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue using biodiesel. 13 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
