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). During the engine idle shutdown
process:
• The red Stop Engine light will flash, and an audible tone will sound,
for the final 30 seconds just prior to shutdown.
• Within the final 30 seconds, the timer can be reset by:
1. changing the position of the accelerator pedal, or
2. changing the brake pedal or park brake from engaged to disengaged
or from disengaged to engaged.
• When the timer reaches zero, the engine will shut down.
• In this event, the key remains in the ON (Run) position, and power
continues to be supplied to the accessories.
Battery power may be drained if the key is left in the ON (Run)
position without the engine running.
• The key must be moved to the LOCK (Off) position to reset the
system before restarting the engine.
Note: The engine idle shutdown 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 system is regenerating the diesel
particulate filter (DPF).
BRAKES
Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide chapter for scheduled maintenance.
Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a
performance concern with the brake system. In normal operation, brake
systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when
the brakes are applied. Such noises are usually heard during the first few
brake applications in the morning; however, they may be heard at any
time while braking and can be aggravated by environmental conditions
such as cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt or mud. If a
“metal-to-metal,” “continuous grinding” or “continuous squeal” sound is
present while braking, the brake linings may be worn-out and should be
inspected by a qualified service technician.
