The default FIC settings are useful for a majority of applications. In most conditions,
modifications of the default settings aren’t necessary. Fleet managers may find that
altering some of the FIC settings may yield better fuel economy when drivers require
extended idle operations. Before changing the default parameters, it is strongly
recommended to consult the customer and/or body builder.
Standard Feature
FIC
The FIC allows the operator to control the engine speed with the Set/Accel and
Res/Decel switches when the Cruise Control ON/OFF switch is in the ON position,
the vehicle speed is 0 MPH, the transmission is in neutral, and the parking brake is
set. FIC will be overruled if the accelerator pedal request is greater than the FIC
request, and the accelerator pedal will control engine speed. The FIC will deactivate
if the clutch pedal or the service brake pedal are depressed.
Set/Accel switch allows the operator to increase the engine speed. When FIC is
active and the Set/Accel
switch is bumped, the engine speed will increase by “Value
to Increase FIC Speed With a Resume/Decel Switch Bump (N107).
” When FIC is
active and the Set/Accel switch is pressed and held, the engine speed will increase
at “Rate to Increase FIC Speed With the Set/Accel Switch Held (N103).”
The Res/Decel switch allows the operator to decrease the engine speed. When FIC
is active and the Res/Decel switch is bumped, the engine speed will decrease by
“Value to Decrease FIC Speed With a Resume/Decel Switch Bump (N105).” When
FIC is active and the Res/Decel switch is pressed and held, the engine speed will
decrease at “Rate to Decrease FIC Speed With the Set/Accel Switch Held (N104).”
