Minimum Idle Shutdown Outside Temperature
Maximum Idle Shutdown Outside Temperature
Description:
The Minimum and Maximum Idle Shutdown Temperature
settings allow the fl exibility of a defi ned temperature
range where the engine will always shutdown along
with temperature ranges where the driver can override
the shutdown, allowing the use of air conditioning or
heating. The Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter
must be programmed to “Outside Temperature Based”
for these parameters to be programmed (See page ).

Advantages:
The Outside Temperature Based Shutdown saves fuel by
allowing idle only when necessary for driver comfort.
Disadvantages:
If the Idle Shutdown time is programmed for a long time
(more than an hour) and the temperature drops in to the
“Always Shutdown” range the engine would shutdown
and could wake the driver.
Recommendations:
✔ Program the Minimum setting to a value where
it would be necessary to use the heater to be
comfortable and the Maximum setting to a value
where it would be necessary to use the air
conditioner to be comfortable.
