  • Page 54: Aftertreatment System Conditioning (Periodic Heat Mode)

    https://truckmanualshub.com/ V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual Aftertreatment System Conditioning (Periodic Heat Mode) During periods of extended idling (typically 8 or more hours), the aftertreatment system will accumulate unburned hydrocarbons that are released from a diesel engine. Accumulation of these hydrocarbons can oxidize in the aftertreatment system and can cause damaging temperature spikes and potential hardware failures upon resumed driving or during aftertreatment DPF stationary regeneration events.
