NOTE
Baggage compartment doors must be unlocked
using the key first, they can then be unlocked or
locked using the baggage compartment-locking
system.
Fast Idle
For extended idling periods, run
the engine at fast idle. Press down
this rocker switch to engage fast
idle. This increases the engine
speed to approximately 1,000 rpm.
Return to normal idle before
driving or when stopping the
engine.
CAUTION
If the parking brake is released and/or the
transmission is engaged with the engine
running at fast idle, the engine will return and
remain to normal idle as long as the parking
brake is not applied and/or transmission is not
placed into neutral (n).
The engine will return to fast idle once the
parking brake is applied or neutral (n) selected.
CAUTION
Return the engine to normal idle before shutting
the engine off.
Engine Stop Override (With Automatic Fire
Detection And Suppression System)
Press the Engine Stop Override
switch on the dashboard or the
Delay Engine Stop switch on the
AFSS protection panel to delay the
engine shutdown and extinguisher
discharge by an additional 15
seconds.
CAUTION
Use this function if you are not
prepared to bring the vehicle to a
safe stop (i.e. on a railroad track, in
intersection).
This switch is functional only if the
vehicle is equipped with the
Automatic Fire Detection and
Suppression System.
Traction Control System Mud/Snow Mode
On certain road conditions, it
may be useful to retard the
intervention of the traction
control system TCS during
vehicle acceleration. The
Mud/Snow function allows
greater engine power and more
wheel spin during TCS
operation. This function may be
helpful to set the vehicle in
motion on iced roads, for
example.
Press the Mod/Snow switch to
turn on this function. The TCS
telltale blinks slowly when the
TCS Mud/Snow mode is active.
Always remember to turn the
Mud/Snow feature off when
driving on a firm road surface.
A new ignition cycle or a second
pressing of the Mud/Snow
switch will turn this function off.
