Driving brake applied and engine oil temperature below 158°F (70°C). This strategy raises the rpm to a level that reduces the potential to produce "coking" or "wet stacking", which is common to all diesel engines when idling for extended periods during cold ambient temperatures. • Your vehicle may have a factory option for a Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) through dash-mounted Upfitter switches will allow the operator to elevate the idle rpm for extended idle periods, as well as aftermarket equipment such as PTO operation. This feature must be configured even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized dealer for required upfitting. Operation in snow Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or extreme rain conditions may feed excessive amounts of snow/water into the air intake system. This could plug/soak the air filter with snow and may cause the engine to lose power and possibly shut down. Either of these conditions may cause the CHECK AIR FILTER message to appear in the message center. You may not need to change the air filter and the vehicle may be driven up to 200 miles (320 km) under the following conditions: • Snow: At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and clear all the snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do NOT remove the air filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge. • Wet: The air filter will dry after about 15-30 minutes at highway speeds. At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and reset the air filter restriction gauge. Refer to Air filter and restriction gauge in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter of this supplement for more information. Operation in standing water Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine. Consult your dealer for service immediately. 16 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
