OPERATION
When your engine has been idling for a long time, smart engine
off system warns you 30 seconds before turning off the engine
and informs you about the fact that the engine is being turned off
when a predefined time period has expired in idle with the smart
engine off feature. All you need to do to prevent engine from being
turned off is to press any of the clutch, brake or accelerator pedals
within this period. Thus, you shall deactivate this feature until you
restart the engine when you do not want your engine to be turned
off.
Other conditions when this feature is automatically deactivated is
as follows:
- When engine speed control applications (for example: PTO) are
operated
- When the park brake is not applied
- When DPF regeneration is activated
This feature would provide significant fuel saving and you shall
enjoy the privilege of being a Ford Cargo owner.
You may increase or decrease the idling speed using speed
control buttons when your vehicle is stationary. All you need to
do is to bring the speed control handle to "resume" position and
to activate this feature. After that, you shall simply decide at what
speed the engine will run using "Set +" or "Set -" buttons.
You may also use this feature in PTO applications, too. Thus, you
can set the engine speed to the optimum point in various load
conditions and obtain the highest efficiency from the PTO.
PTO applications are used in mixer vehicles, concrete pumps and
in many other similar vehicles today. It is very easy to operate
or turn off the engine or control the engine speed remotely by a
remote control with a similar special applications in vehicles such
as concrete pump. Thus, remote operation is possible without
requiring the operator to work inside the vehicle.
In emergency conditions, you may deactivate the engine speed
control by using the "off" position in speed control or by pressing
the clutch or brake pedal as specific to application.
