Engine Start and Operation
Idle Shutdown Timer
The idle shutdown timer can be programmed
to shut down the engine
idling time. This programming cannot be changed
by the operator; however, it can be changed using
special tools. For vehicles equipped with Volvo
engines, use VCADS Elite software application; for
vehicles equipped with Cummins engines, use the
Pro-Link tool. See your local Volvo Truck dealer
for details.
The permitted idle time can be set to the
following time interval:
Volvo
1 to 40 minutes
Cummins
1 to 100 minutes
Detroit
2 to 100 minutes
When the idle shutdown feature is enabled,
the engine will shut down at the set time
under the following conditions:
•
Vehicle speed is 0.
•
Engine is running at idle speed.
•
Coolant temperature is above
113 F (45 C).
•
Parking brake is applied.
These are the standard choices when the
vehicle is delivered. For more information
