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 XX 30 seconds prior to shutdown and begins
counting down to zero.
• 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.
