2. The ignition switch will return to the OFFmode.
3. If the gear selector is not in PARK (with vehicle stopped) and the ENGINE START/
STOP button is pushed once, the trans-
mission will automatically select PARK
and the engine will turn off, however the
ignition will remain in the ACC mode (NOT
the OFF mode). Never leave a vehicle out
of the PARK position, or it could roll.
4. If the vehicle speed is above 5 mph (8 km/ h), the ENGINE START/STOP button must
be held for two seconds (or three short
pushes in a row) to turn the engine off.
The ignition will remain in the ACC mode
(NOT the OFF mode) if the engine is
turned off when the transmission is not in
PARK.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or RUN
(engine not running) mode and the transmis-
sion is in PARK, the system will automatically
time out after 30 minutes of inactivity and
the ignition will switch to the OFF mode.Idle Shutdown — 6.4L Engine Only
This feature can be enabled so that the truck
will automatically shutdown when the truck
has been idling for a set period of time when
the engine is at operating temperature. Idle
time can be set in 5 minute increments
between 5 and 60 minutes. See your local
authorized dealer to enable this feature.
NOTE:
The idle shut down timer is disabled while the
PTO is active.
ENGINE START/STOP Button Functions —
With Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal (In
PARK Or NEUTRAL Position)
The ENGINE START/STOP button operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has three
positions, OFF, ACC, RUN. To change the
ignition switch positions without starting the
vehicle and use the accessories follow these
steps:
1. Starting with the ignition in the OFF position: 2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button
once to change the ignition to the ACC
position.
3. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a second time to change the ignition to the
RUN position.
4. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a third time to return the ignition to the OFF
position.
STARTING THE ENGINE — 6.7L
DIESEL ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
fasten your seat belts.
The starter should not be operated for more
than 15-second intervals. Waiting a few min-
utes between such intervals will protect the
starter from overheating.
