Driving ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This system will automatically shut down your engine when it has been idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown process has started: • A chime will sound and the message center will display ENGINE TURNS OFF IN 30 (seconds) and start counting down. • The 5 or 15 minute timer can be restarted 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. To prolong engine life (especially after extended high speed, high ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation, such as heavy loads and/or heavy trailers), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for 3-5 minutes which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down. For more information on GVW/GCW, see Vehicle loading - with and without a trailer in the Owner guide 10 2012 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This
system will automatically shut down your engine when it has been idling
in P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or
15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown
process has started:
•
A chime will sound and the message center will display
ENGINE
TURNS OFF IN 30
(seconds) and start counting down.
•
The 5 or 15 minute timer can be restarted 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.
To prolong engine life (especially after extended high speed, high
ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation, such as heavy loads
and/or heavy trailers), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for
3-5 minutes which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down. For
