Automatic Sound Effects

Certain Proto-Sound 2.0 sound effects automatically play in programmed conventional 
mode conditions:

Squealing Brakes:

 Play any time the engine's speed decreases rapidly.

Cab Chatter:

 Plays at random intervals when the engine idles in neutral.

Engine Start-up and Shut-down: 

Sounds play when the engine is initially 

powered on or is powered off for five seconds or more.

Reset to Factory Default

To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it to its 
factory defaults, while in Neutral tap the Horn button quickly once, followed by five 
quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each 
quick button press. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change.
