Low idling speed EDC
Setting, permanent
If the engine is warm (above 45
°
C), the bus stationary
and the clutch pedal released (parking brake on and
gearbox in neutral on buses with automatic transmis-
sion), idling speed can be set with the help of the break-
ers on the direction indicator stalk.
–
Keep the brake pedal depressed. Move the slide
control to “RESUME” and hold it there for min. 4
seconds.
–
Still keep the brake pedal depressed and move the
slide control to the neutral position. This should
produce the lowest idle speed (530 r/min).
–
By repeatedly depressing “SET+” or “SET–” the
speed can be be altered. Each activation increases/
decreases idle speed by about 10 r/min (within the
adjustable interval). When the desired idling speed
has been reached, activate “RESUME” again for at
least 4 seconds and then move the slide control to
the neutral position.
Setting, temporary
The engine idle speed can be temporarily altered by activating the
rocker switch “SET+” or “SET–”, without depressing the brake
pedal. If the slide control is moved to “RESUME”, the engine will run
at the pre-programmed high idling speed, and if it is moved to
“OFF”, the engine will go down to its lowest set idling speed. These
speed variations are not stored in the control unit. Even with
temporary alteration of the idling speed the clutch pedal must be
released (parking brake on and gearbox in neutral on buses with
automatic transmission).
