Electronic Stability Control Triggers

• Rapid directional changes

• Excessive speed entering a curve

• Maintaining a constant speed in a reducing radius curve

• Accelerating in a curve

• Sudden lane change

Automatic Traction Control

• Option on vehicles equipped with Meritor Wabco ABS

• Improves traction on slippery surfaces by reducing overspin

• ATC indicator lamp will flash during excessive wheel spin

• Works in two ways:

1. If a wheel starts to spin, ATC applies air pressure to break spinning wheel. In turn, torque is transferred to wheels with better traction.

2. If ALL wheels are spinning, ATC limits engine torque which reduces wheel spin.

Deep Snow and Mud Switch • NOT automatic

• Slightly increases permissible wheel spin

• ATC lamp will blink continuously when turned on

• Do not use for an extended period of time, as this can damage your vehicle

How do I know what my vehicle is equipped with?

Scenario #1

Both lamp indicators come on at ignition and turn off after ~3 seconds.

Your vehicle is equipped with ABS and ATC.

Scenario #2

Both lamps come on at ignition and the ATC/ESC/RSC lamp stays on briefly after the ABS lamp goes out.

Your vehicle is equipped with ABS, ATC, and Stability Control.

TITLE Regeneration

Passive Regeneration

• Occurs automatically

• When exhaust temperatures are high enough and vehicle is running normally, this process occurs automatically

Active Regeneration

• Can occur automatically anytime the vehicle is moving

• If the engine isn’t running hot enough, extra fuel is injected into the exhaust stream to superheat and reduce the soot trapped in the DPF to ash

• Happens only when vehicle is moving above a specified speed

Parked Regeneration

• Driver-activated

• DPF lamp illuminates when regeneration is required. Driver must activate parked regeneration or bring the vehicle to highway speeds

WARNING

Active regeneration can occur automatically anytime the vehicle is moving. The exhaust gas temperature could reach 1500°F (800°C), which

is hot enough to cause a fire, heat damage to objects or materials, or personal injury to persons near the exhaust outlet. The exhaust

temperature can remain high even after the vehicle has stopped. When stopping the vehicle shortly after an automatic regen, ensure the

exhaust outlets are directed away from structures, trees, vegetation, flammable materials, and anything else that may be damaged or injured

by exposure to high heat.

Aftertreatment Regeneration Video

To Activate Parked Regeneration

1. Park the vehicle away from all flammable materials, put transmission in neutral, and set

parking brake

2. Start and warm the engine until the coolant temperature is at least 150°F.

3. Lift the regen request switch guard and press and hold the yellow button for five

seconds. As the regen process is initiated, engine rpm increases and the HEST lamp

illuminates to indicate extremely high exhaust temperatures.

4. The regen cycle will finish after 20 to 60 minutes, at which time engine idle speed drops

to normal and the vehicle can be driven normally.

• The HEST lamp shuts off when vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h) or the

system has cooled to normal temperature.

5. To stop a parked regen at any time during the process:

a) Depress the clutch pedal, brake pedal, or accelerator pedal

b) Press and hold the regen inhibit switch until idle returns to normal

c) Shut down the engine

IMPORTANT: Driver must remain in vehicle during entire cycle.

Optimized Idle Video

Optimized Idle

Reduces engine idle time by running the engine only when required

Benefits:

• Reduced engine idle time

• Fuel savings

• Reduction of exhaust emissions

and noise

• Increased starter and engine life

• Reduced chance of dead batteries

“How do I know if I have Optimized Idle?”

Your vehicle will have a label on the dash, and a telltale (OPT

IDLE) in the ICU. [

[

Two Modes of Optimized Idle

Engine Mode

• Keeps the battery charged

• Maintains an engine oil temperature of 60-104ºF

Thermostat Mode

• Activated when optional thermostat is turned on

• Controls set point, or desired temp of cab and sleeper

• Controls comfort zone, or allowed temp deviation from the set point before the engine starts

• When the engine is in thermostat mode, it is simultaneously in engine mode

Optimized Idle Functions

If a vehicle has Optimized Idle, the previous 4 basic functions will not operate with the key in accessory mode.

Optimized Idle may also turn these functions off to reduce stress on the batteries.

• Cab climate control fan

• Sleeper climate control fan

• Mirror heat

• Fuel/water separator heat

• Seat heat

• Advertising light

• Auxiliary circulation fan (windshield)

• Air dryer
