Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown process has started:
  • A chime sounds and the information display will show ENGINE TURNS OFF IN 30 (seconds) and start counting down
  • You can restart the five or 15-minute timer by changing the position of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the final 30 seconds
  • When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and this message will appear in your information display ENGINE TURNED OFF
  • One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system simulates key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position, initiating normal accessory delay period
  • You must move the ignition to the off position to reset the system before restarting your vehicle.
The engine idle shutdown idle timer does not start if:
  • The engine is operating in power take-off mode.
  • The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C).
  • The exhaust emission control device is regenerating.
