cannot be moved to a safe location within that time,
turn the ignition switch to OFF for at least five sec-
onds, then restart the engine. Repeat this action until
the vehicle is safely off the road.
NOTE: In addition to the warning lamp, the
driver display screen will present a warning
message when the engine is in SHUTDOWN
mode. See
Fig. 12.5. For vehicles with Detroit
engines only, the time remaining before shut-
down is displayed.
Do not operate the vehicle further until the problem
causing the shutdown has been corrected.
Some vehicles may have a shutdown override
switch, which can be used to momentarily override
the shutdown sequence. This switch resets the shut-
down timer, restoring power to the level before the
derate. The switch must be pressed again after five
seconds to obtain a subsequent override. See
Fig. 12.6.
NOTICE
When the derate process begins, immediately get
the vehicle serviced in order to prevent severe
damage to the engine.
Detroit engines may begin a warning and derate pro-
cess if water is detected in the fuel, or for high en-
gine coolant temperature. In WARNING and DER-
ATE mode, the CHECK engine, STOP engine, or MIL
lamp will illuminate to indicate an engine problem
that requires service and the engine controls will
begin a derate of engine output. Continuing to run
the engine while it is in derate mode could cause
severe damage to the engine.
