Introduction
By the early 1980s, it had become evident that new engine technologies would have to be brought to bear if Caterpillar, or any other diesel engine manufacturer, was to prosper in the rapidly evolving market environment. A combination of increased government regulation, prompted by legitimate environmental concerns, stronger competition and more demanding market expectations dictated totally new approaches to diesel engine design. In order to meet these challenges, Caterpillar embarked on an ambitious development program to create totally new diesel engines. That program resulted in the 3176 and the 3406B PEEC. Since 1987, the use of electronics on Caterpillar On-Highway Engines has grown Engine models such as the C-10, C-12, C15, C-16, and 3126E have been introduced. Most recently, the model year 2008 electronic engine line includes the C7, C9, C13, and C15 with ACERT Technology Cat manufactures a wide variety of electronic engines for applications as varied as locomotives and very large earth movers. This booklet covers On-Highway Engines only. Today, electronics do much more than control the combustion process to meet ever more stringent emission standards and customer fuel economy expectations. They allow the engine to talk to and coordinate with driveline components. They allow monitoring and control of driving habits to meet business objectives. Remote programming and monitoring ability allows real time eet control from an ofce location. In todays changing economic environment, a eet manager must juggle economy and driver satisfaction. Caterpillar electronically controlled engines allow a eet manager to spec a driveline free from the usual compromises and then program the engines to reect desired driving habits. In addition, the Driver Reward feature allows the manager to automatically reward drivers who meet preset eet objectives. Incorporation of the latest, most powerful ECM, has equipped Caterpillar On-Highway Engines with numerous electronic features. This book outlines Caterpillar electronic features that have the ability to change the way eets operate. It is now possible to program eet truck engines and sit back and let the electronics take over.

Introduction
Whats New
Much has changed with Caterpillars on-highway engine technology since the last revision of this book in May 2005. This book picks up where the May 2005 revision left off, covering all EPA07 emissions compliance changes for on-highway engines.
Introduction
All of the electronic parameters have been modied to reect programming requirements for EPA07 onhighway engines. Informational Parameters
Maximizing Fuel Economy

There are many parameters in this book that affect fuel economy. To aid in selecting the parameters and features that have the greatest impact, Caterpillar has assembled the following list.

Soft Cruise - page 47 Multi-Torque Ratio - page 235 Gear Down Protection - page 79 Driver Reward - page 152 A/C Switch Fan On - page Fast Idle RPM - page 55 Pulses Per Mile - page 20 Fan Override Switch - page 166 Fan with Engine Retarder in High Mode - page

Understanding the Electronic Controls

This booklet is to aid you in choosing appropriate programmable values. Some features fall into a non-programmable or programmable only by your authorized Cat dealer category. While you may not need to be concerned about programming these parameters, we have included them in this booklet so you can have a greater understanding of the Caterpillar electronic system. Cat electronic truck engines offer a wide range of features, these include but are not limited to:

Introduction
Maximum Vehicle Speed Limiting Progressive Shift
Engine Idle-Shutdown Timer

Wide variety of Cruise Control features Engine Brake Control Dedicated PTO control features Engine Monitoring System Engine Diagnostics w/ fault logging including snapshot recording Numerous Trip Recording options J1939 Data Link ATA (J1587) Data Link Cooling fan control including A/C high pressure
Not all of these features fall into the customer programmable category. Some features, like the ATA Data Link, have to do with the way the engine electronics are integrated into the truck and drive train electronics. Another example is the setting for tachometer calibration, which comes preset from the truck factory and should not be changed. (In fact, most features come with a preset value from the factory.) Other features, like password protection, can only be set by a customer.
Page 7
In short, the programmable features fall into two basic categories: Factory specied parameters and features which include both; 1 Caterpillar Standard Features 2 Truck Manufacturers (OEM) Standard Features Customer specied parameters and specications which include both;
OE M
Introduction
1 OEM Databook Features (the ones chosen as the truck is specd and ordered) 2 Optional Programmable Features (parameters unique to the application and normally set after the truck is delivered)
Customer programmable features with a icon in the title bar can be locked for additional security. (See Customer Parameter Lockout, page 225 for details.) Since the introduction of the 3176B and 3406E engines in 1993, Caterpillar has continued to add and enhance the features available to both the Fleet Owner and the Owner Operator. These additions and enhancements are made by changing the software in the Personality Module, which is in the Electronic Control Module (ECM) on the engine. New Personality Module Software can be installed by an authorized Caterpillar dealer. Throughout this booklet references are made to software release dates to dene when a particular feature became available.

Factory Specied Parameters and Features

Each new engine will come with several features set at factory default settings. Some of these, like the oil sump capacity, are set at the engine factory. Others, like the tachometer calibration, are set by the truck manufacturer. All of these default settings fall into one of three categories. 1 A specic value required by the engine or truck electronics for proper operation (example - oil sump capacity, tachometer calibration) 2 A standard value set for convenience (example PTO Ramp Rate is set at 50 rpm/sec) 3 A value set at the upper limit of the possible range to ensure that the specic feature does not take effect until reset by the customer (example - Vehicle Speed Limiting is set at 127 mph)

Customer Programmable Parameters and Specications

Determining Parameters and Specications On the following pages you will see a explanation of each electronic parameter. Along with the explanations are helpful recommendations and in some cases, split chart examples to help in specication development. Another aid in determining Parameters and Specications is Cat Design Pro (See page 236). Customer specied parameters are divided into two sections; OEM Data Book Programmable Features are used to spec and order a truck and the Optional Programmable Features are used to customize the engine for your operation. Some OEM Data Book Programmable Features covered are: (see page 14 for complete listing) Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL)
Cruise Control Parameters Engine/Gear Parameters PTO/Fast Idle Features Idle Shutdown Timer Retarder Control Tamper Resistance Password Protection Engine Monitoring System

Vehicle Speed Calibration

OE
Description: The value (Pulses per Mile, PPM) of this parameter is used by the ECM to convert the vehicle speed signal into miles per hour (or kilometers per hour). The value is calculated using tire revolutions per mile, rear axle ratio and the number of teeth on the transmission chopper wheel. This parameter is programmed by the OEM. PPM = M x Ra x N Example: 31,200 = 502 x 3.90 x 16 M = Tire revolutions per mile. This information is available from the tire manufacturer. Ra = Rear Axle Ratio. This is typically found on the housing of the rear axle, or on the specication sheet for the vehicle N = Number of chopper teeth on the transmission drive shaft where the magnetic pickup is mounted. The value is typically 16, but may be 11. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines Range:

Advantages: Proper calculation of the Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter is essential for proper cruise control and speedometer (if controlled by the ECM) operation, and accurate Fleet and Driver Trip Data. Disadvantages: Miscalculation of the Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter will cause all values calculated by the ECM using the Vehicle Speed value to be in error (e.g. vehicle miles, fuel economy, etc.). Precise calculation is critical to provide accurate calculated values from the ECM.
Page 20
Recommendations: Let the OEM calculate and program Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter based on the truck specs. Recalculate and program the Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter if any changes are made to the driveline components, such as a different rear axle ratio or a tire size change.

Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939-Trans)

OE
Description: If a value is programmed into the Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939 - Trans) parameter the ECM will use the data that is received from the transmission controller over the J1939 data link to calculate vehicle speed. The Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) parameter value represents the Transmission Output Shaft revolutions per mile. If this parameter is not programmed, the ECM use one of the other vehicle speed inputs for calculations. When the ECM is congured to receive Vehicle Speed information from an Electronic Transmission Control Unit via the J1939 datalink, the attached transmission must be capable of supporting the J1939 ETC1 Broadcast Message that provides the transmission output shaft speed. OEM Responsibilities: Determine if the transmission is capable of supporting the required ETC1 message protocol. Determine the parameter value to be programmed for a given chassis by one of the methods listed below. Parameter Calculation Methods: Method 1 Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = Transmission Output Shaft revolutions per mile Method 2 Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = Transmission Speed Sensor pulse per mile Number of teeth on the output shaft chopper wheel Method 3 Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = Tire revolutions per mile x Axle ratio Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:

Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939-ABS)
OE
Description: If a value is programmed into the Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939 - ABS) paramter the ECM will use the data that is received from the ABS controller over the J1939 data link to calculate vehicle speed. The Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-ABS) parameter value represents the ratio of actual tire revolutions per mile divided by assumed ABS tire revolutions per mile, and is used with the wheel speed signal (received over the J1939 datalink) to calculate vehicle speed. It is important to note that if this calibration method is to be used, the ABS must be able to support the J1939 High Resolution Wheel Speed Broadcast Message, which provides wheel speed from the two rear wheels. In addition to the wheel speed, the ABS will also transmit the actual revolutions per mile, which should be divided by the assumed ABS tire revolutions per mile to obtain the Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-ABS) parameter. OEM Responsibilities: Determine if the ABS can support the required message protocol mentioned above. It is recommended that the OEM program the Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter.

Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL)

OE
Description: Vehicle speed limiting sets the maximum speed of the truck. Vehicle Speed Limiting cuts off the fuel to the injectors when the truck exceeds the programmed speed. With the release of NOV95 Personality Module Software, VSL can be exceeded using cruise control if the High Cruise Control (HCC) Set Limit parameter is programmed higher than the Vehicle Speed Limit parameter (See page 31).
VSL R P M

Advantages: Using the VSL feature allows you to gear fast - run slow to optimize the balance between fuel economy and performance or simply specify for the best fuel economy. Setting VSL allows the truck operator to consistently operate the engine and truck at fuel efcient and safe vehicle speeds. Without VSL, most trucks can be capable of very high vehicle speeds, due to GFRS/GFRSS specing methods. Disadvantages: VSL can be a hard limit that allows no fuel until the vehicle slows to a speed below the programmed limit. This makes the common practice of running at hills very difcult. Soft VSL ( See page 31 ) may alleviate this problem if the driver expects to operate at or above VSL on downhill runs.
Page 24
Recommendations: Gearing for best fuel economy. The Driver Incentive feature can be used to automatically adjust the VSL accoding to the drivers operating habit.

If engine RPM at Vehicle Speed Limit is less than or equal to Peak Toque RPM + 100, select another axle ratio or transmission to increase engine RPM. Otherwise driveability may be adversely affected. Use Design Pro to check for gradeability at cruise speed to ensure it is 1.0% or greater. Also, use Design Pro to check for gradeability at peak torque to ensure it is 1.8% (1.5% minimum).
VSL Protection
OE
Description: This tamper-resistant feature is a programmed engine RPM limit that the engine will not exceed if the ECM should lose the vehicle speed signal. In other words, if the vehicle speed signal is lost the truck will not exceed the Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL). The VSL Protection parameter should be set high enough that the vehicle can limp home, but low enough that it will not be capable of exceeding the VSL. Note: When VSL Protection is programmed to Top Engine Limit (TEL) rpm, diagnostic codes 84-01, Loss of Vehicle Speed Signal and 84-10, Vehicle Speed Rate of Change are disabled. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Engine C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 3126E GM 3126E Other, C7, C9 Minimum 1000 RPM 1700 RPM 1700 RPM Maximum TEL RPM 1700 RPM TEL RPM Cat Default TEL RPM 1700 RPM TEL RPM
Advantages: The tamper resistance feature helps deter those who may be tempted to try and circumvent the vehicle speed signal. If the ECM were to lose the vehicle speed signal for any reason, the engine rpm would be limited to the programmed RPM value of the VSL Protection parameter. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends electronic engines be protected by setting this feature to an RPM value equal to: VSL x Rax Rt x M VSL Protection (rpm) = 60 where; VSL = Ra = Rt = M= Vehicle Speed Limit Rear Axle Ratio Transmission Ratio in the highest gear Tire revolutions per mile

Tachometer Calibration
OE
Description: Programmed by the OEM, this parameter is used by the ECM to convert the engine speed signal into revolutions per minute for a tachometer. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Engine C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 3126E GM, C7, C9 GM 530/540 C7, C9 GM T560 3126 Other & 2007 C7, C9, C13, C15 Range Minimum Maximum 12.0 PPR 2.0 PPR 2.0 PPR 2.0 PPR 500.0 PPR 500.0 PPR 500.0 PPR 500.0 PPR Cat Default 113.0 PPR 17.5 PPR 2.0 PPR 134.0 PPR
Advantages: By using the ECM Output to drive the in-dash tachometer the need for a separate sensor for the tachometer is eliminated. Recommendations: For most applications the factory default is correct. For ECM driven tachometer applications the indash tachometer must be set to the same pulses per revolution (PPR) setting as the ECM. To verify that the ECM is driving the tachometer, perform the tachometer special test in Cat ET. When running the special test, the tachometer reading should sweep to approximately 1500 rpm. If not, use the following calculation to correct the Tachometer Calibration parameter value. PPR = X Tach 1500 PPR = current Tachometer Calibration value Tach = value displayed on the tachometer during the test X = the desired Tachometer Calibration value 1500 = value that should be displayed on the tachometer during the test

Soft Vehicle Speed Limit

Description: Both Vehicle Speed Limiting (VSL) and Soft Vehicle Speed Limiting (Soft VSL) set the maximum speed of the truck. Vehicle Speed Limiting cuts off the fuel to the injectors when the truck exceeds the VSL programmed mile per hour value. When you choose Soft VSL, fuel delivery is modulated when VSL is reached. When the truck reaches the programmed VSL value, the fuel is not abruptly cut off. Instead, it is gradually reduced. Soft VSL may allow the truck to exceed VSL by a maximum of 2.5 MPH (4 km/h), when the truck is using less than 50% of the available engine horsepower.

Vehicle Speed MPH (km/h)
Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range No Yes Cat Default No
Advantages: Using Soft VSL feature not only allows you to gear fast run slow to optimize a balance between fuel economy and performance or simply specify for the best fuel economy, but also allows the driver to run at hills by warming the turbo at the bottom of the hill. This means that there is enough fuel to keep moderate boost levels even though fuel delivery is tapered off by Soft VSL.
Page 31
Disadvantages: Not setting VSL allows the truck operator to run fast and as a result get poor fuel economy. Also, some drivers may not like driving with Soft VSL enabled. Some common complaints are that there seems to be lower power and the truck may not feel like it can hold a constant speed. However, these effects are due to the modulated fuel delivery, and once a driver gets used to them, will still result in the advantages listed previously. This perceived power loss can be even more noticeable on trucks that are speced near minimum gradeability requirements. Recommendations: Do not use Soft VSL unless you expect the truck to operate at or above VSL in uneven or at terrain.

FORMERLY: NOMINAL AXLE RATIO - HIGH SPEED RANGE AXLE RATIO TWO-SPEED AXLE - LOW SPEED RANGE AXLE RATIO
Description: These two parameters must be programmed when a Two-Speed Axle On/Off Switch is used by the ECM in order to adjust the vehicle speed calibration. When a two-speed axle is used, the change in gear ratios from the high speed range to the low speed range alters the calibration of the Vehicle Speed Limit and Vehicle Speed Calibration, which require a calibration adjustment to ensure the ECM-driven speedometer and ECM-stored information correctly reect the actual vehicle speed.

Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Let the OEM calculate the Low Speed Range Axle Ratio and High Speed Range Axle Ratio parameters based on the truck specications. Recalculate and program the Low Speed Range Axle Ratio and High Speed Range Axle Ratio parameters if any changes are made to the rear axle ratios. Note that repairing or replacing the rear end with the same axle ratio will not cause a problem or require any recalculation for this parameter.

Description: Cruise control allows the comfort and convenience of automotive type cruise control, complete with bump speed settings (Bump Cruise allows the operator to change the vehicle speed in 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) increments by bumping the Accel or Decel switch). While in cruise mode, the ECM monitors and maintains vehicle speed at a set value. Additionally, the use of an engine retarder while the cruise control is On has three programmable modes to match your braking method. The retarder can also be programmed to automatically turn on when the truck exceeds the cruise set speed while going down hill. Advantages: Using cruise control can reduce driver fatigue and improve fuel economy when used correctly. Caterpillars SoftCruise speed control can provide a smoother ride and additional fuel economy. The SoftCruise feature is most benecial in rolling terrain.
Page 34
Disadvantages: Cruise control offers few disadvantages. If the Low Cruise Control setting is set too low it may allow drivers to operate the cruise in slower city trafc which may not be desirable. However, if Low Cruise Control is set too high the driver will not be able to use it when climbing long grades. Using the standard cruise (by setting Caterpillars SoftCruise speed control to off) can cause the driver to sense uneven fueling - rapid fuel on/fuel off. This may discourage the use of cruise control and negatively effect fuel economy and driver comfort. Recommendations: Use cruise control by setting both the High and Low cruise control speed limits (HCC and LCC). Set the HCC at the highest speed you intend the vehicle to cruise. This may be above the Vehicle Speed Limit parameter setting. Do not set the cruise control limit right on top of a shift point. Driveability may be adversely affected. Check your settings against a split chart for your driveline.
Incorrect Correct
RPM Do not set Cruise Control Limits on top of shift points MPH
To take full advantage of SoftCruise, set the High Cruise (HCC) parameter to at least 3 mph below the Vehicle Speed Limit Parameter (VSL). Example: VSL = 65, HCC = 62 or less On the other hand, to encourage the use of cruise control, set HCC to 3 mph above the recommended VSL. This will result in the truck being operated in cruise, with the HCC speed reached by bumping up the cruise.

Note: If Adaptive Cruise Control is Enabled, the minimum for the Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit is 30 MPH.
Advantages: Programming of this parameter can restrict the use of cruise control to those places where it is proper. Disadvantages: If the Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit is set too low it may allow drivers to operate the cruise in slower city trafc, which may not be desirable. However, if LCC is set too high, the driver will not be able to use it when climbing long grades. Recommendations: A typical value for Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit is 30 MPH (48 km/h).
Page 36
High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit
OE
Description: High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit sets the maximum vehicle speed for which cruise control may be used. If the driver attempts to set a vehicle speed higher than the programmed value of High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit, the programmed value will become the cruise set speed. It is possible to program High Cruise Control Speed Set above the programmed Vehicle Speed Limit. However, the driver can only attain speeds higher than VSL by using the ACCEL switch and bumping up the vehicle speed. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Engine Minimum 3126E, C7, C9 GM 3126E, C7, C9 Other C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 2007 C7, C9, C13, C15 30 MPH (48 km/h) 20 MPH (32 km/h) 30 MPH (48 km/h) 30 MPH (48 km/h) Maximum 75 MPH (121 km/h) 127 MPH (204 km/h) 127 MPH (204 km/h) 127 MPH (204 km/h) Cat Default 75 MPH (121 km/h) 127 MPH (204 km/h) 127 MPH (204 km/h) 75 MPH (121 km/h)
Advantages: Using cruise control can reduce driver fatigue and improve fuel economy. Fleets may want to set HCC above VSL to encourage use of cruise control. Disadvantages: If High Cruise Control Speed Set is programmed to a value above the Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL) the truck most likely will be driven at higher speeds, therefore reducing fuel economy. Recommendations: Set the High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit at the highest speed you intend the vehicle to cruise. Set the High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit 3 to 5 MPH (5 to 13 km/h) below the Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL). This allows the driver to run at hills in rolling terrain and allows some reserve speed for passing.

If increased security is needed, this parameter can be locked using the Customer Parameter Lockout (See page 225).
Engine Retarder Mode

OE
Description: When the driver is operating an engine retarder with the cruise control switch On and steps on the service brake, two customer selectable modes of operation are available, Coast and Latch. One additional Manual mode is available, which does not require the cruise switch to be in the On position and operates like a retarder on a mechanically governed engine. Coast Mode:
Applied Service Brake On Engine Retarder Off Released
Coast Mode engages the engine retarder when the driver presses (applies) the service brake pedal. When the pedal is released, the retarder disengages. Latch Mode:
Applied Service Brake On Engine Retarder Released
Latch Mode engages the retarder when the driver presses (applies) the service brake. The driver can then release the service brake and the retarder will remain engaged until another input, such as depressing the throttle or clutch, engine RPM drops below 800 RPM, or the retarder is turned off, is supplied. Manual Mode does not require the Cruise Control Switch to be in the On position. In Manual Mode the engine retarder will activate anytime the Retarder Switch is On, engine RPM is above 800 RPM and the engine is not being fueled.

Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type

Description: Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit Type denes how the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed parameter will be used. If the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit Type is programmed to the soft setting, the engine retarder will remain ON below the value programmed in the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed until the normal engine retarder turn-off parameters are met. If the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit Type is programmed to the hard setting, the engine retarder will turn off when the value programmed in the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed is reached. In both cases the engine retarder will remain off until vehicle speed is higher than the programmed value of the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed and the retarder has been re-engaged.

Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed

Description: Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed is similar to Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit. Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed sets the minimum vehicle speed at which retarder operation is allowed. This parameter affects both the Engine Retarder Solenoids and any auxiliary brake. Setting the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed to 0 (Zero) disables this feature. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines and EPA07 C9 On-Highway Engines Range:
Range Engine Minimum C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 & EPA07 C9 0 MPH (0 km/h) Maximum 127 MPH (204 km/h) Cat Default 0 MPH (0 km/h) Cruise Control Parameters
Advantages: The Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed parameter turns the engine retarder off, at or below the programmed speed. This parameter can also be used to prevent excessive use of the engine retarder at low speeds. Disadvantages: If the engine retarder is engaged and the truck slows to the value of the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed the retarder will turn off. Recommendations: Be sure to observe all federal, state, and local ordinances regarding the use of the engine retarder when setting the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed parameter.

Auto Retarder in Cruise

Description: Auto Retarder in Cruise determines the miles per hour (km/h) value above the cruise set speed that the engine retarder will turn On. The Retarder switch must be in the On position and cruise control set, for this feature to operate. Programming the Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter to 0 (zero) will disable the feature. This parameter works in conjunction with the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter. The initial braking level (Low or Hi) of retarding is dependent on the value of the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter.
Cruise Set Speed 45 55 65 Auto Retarder In Cruise Programmed to 3 MPH
Example: The cruise speed is set at 55 MPH and Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter is programmed to 3 MPH. When the truck accelerates to 58 MPH, by going down hill, the retarder will activate. Available: All electronically programmed on-highway engines Range:
Range Engine C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 C7, C9 EPA07 C7, C9, C13, C15 Minimum 0 MPH (0 km/h) 3 MPH (5 km/h) 0 MPH (0 km/h) Maximum 10 MPH (16 km/h) 10 MPH (16 km/h) 10 MPH (16 km/h) Cat Default 0 MPH (0 km/h) 0 MPH (0 km/h) 0 MPH (0 km/h)
Advantages: Auto Retarder in Cruise can increase driver comfort and reduce driver fatigue while maintaining the desired road speed. Note: The maximum Retarder level is determined by the Retarder Level switch position. Disadvantages: Programming this parameter to a speed that is too low can result in a degraded fuel economy. See Recommendations and the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter discussion to avoid this effect.
Page 42
Recommendations: If Auto Retarder in Cruise is desired, program the parameter to 3 5 MPH (5 8 km/h) to take advantage of SoftCruise. The minimum setting with Soft Cruise is 3 MPH due to the fact that Soft Cruise requires 2.5 MPH to work correctly.
Cruise Control Parameters Page 43
Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment

Description: The Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter works in conjunction with the Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter and controls the retarder level. It requires that Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter to be programmed to a value other than 0 (Zero).
Auto Retarder In Cruise Programmed to 3 MPH Cruise Set Speed 45 55 65 Auto Retarder In Cruise Increment Programmed to 2 MPH Low 58 MPH Medium 60 MPH High 62 MPH
Example: The cruise speed is set to 55 MPH and Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter is programmed to 3 MPH and Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment is programmed to 2 MPH. When the truck accelerates to 58 MPH, by going down hill, the Low retarder level will activate. If the truck continues to accelerate, Medium level retarding would activate at 60 MPH. High level of retarding will activate if the truck reaches 62 MPH. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Engine Minimum C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15, 2007 C7 & C9 0 MPH (0 km/h) Maximum 5 MPH (8 km/h) Cat Default 2 MPH (3 km/h)
Advantages: Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment allows the driver to customize the Auto Retarder in Cruise feature to match his/her driving style. The Auto Retarder in Cruise feature provides drivers who are graded for incentive purposes, an automatic method to control the amount of time above VSL. Disadvantages: Programming the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter too tightly can result in a degraded fuel economy. For instance, if it is set to zero, and the Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter is set to 1 MPH, then all six cylinders will retard when the vehicle exceeds cruising speed by just 1 MPH. This can result in less desirable fuel economy.
Page 44
Recommendations: Program the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment to 2 MPH. This will allow for all three levels of braking to be used for smoother decel on moderate grades If High level of retarding is required, program the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment to 0 (Zero). If this is done, Soft Cruise Control should not be used (see page 47 for details on Soft Cruise Control), since it requires 2.5 MPH to work properly. Set the Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment parameter to the preference of the driver, bearing in mind the potentially negative affect on fuel economy if the increment is set too tightly.

SoftCruise/Driver Cruise
OE
Description: The Caterpillar SoftCruise speed control feature provides a small soft window centered around the cruise set speed. With SoftCruise On, the ECM will modulate fuel delivery for a more efcient, smoother cruise control. SoftCruise reduces the abrupt on/off fuel cycling that is common with some diesel engine cruise controls. It allows the truck to increase speed slightly above the cruise set speed while going down hill (noload) to warm up the turbocharger. This provides quick boost and improved engine response on the next hill. Driver Cruise enhances SoftCuise by having the cruise respond slightly quicker, for improved driveability while maximizing fuel economy.

Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 & #2

Description: With the installation of a momentary contact Fast Idle switch, the driver can toggle the switch and the engine will go immediately to a preset RPM value. The available RPM values are stored as the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 or Fast Idle Engine RPM #2 parameters. The ranges for these two parameters are listed below. The engine will increase from the programmed Low Idle to the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 value when the Fast Idle switch is rst pressed and released. The second time the Fast Idle switch is pressed and released, the engine will increase to the Fast Idle Engine RPM #2 value. After pressing the Fast Idle switch a third time, the engine will return to low idle, and Fast Idle will be disabled. The difference between the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 and #2 parameters is that the #1 parameter can be overridden by the operator, whereas the #2 parameter cannot be overridden beyond the programmed value. To override the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 parameter, the operator should press the accelerator pedal until the desired rpm is reached, and then depress the Fast Idle Enable switch. This rpm will then be the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 value as long as the ECM is powered. Available: Pre EPA07: 3126E, C7, and C9 medium duty engines EPA07: All On-Highway Engine Platforms Range:

PTO Kickout Vehicle Speed Limit

Description: Similar in operation to Vehicle Speed Limit, but it only applies when the engine is in Dedicated PTO Mode. PTO mode is entered if the PTO On/Off circuit is On. If the PTO Vehicle Speed limit is exceeded, the engine will kick out of the Dedicated PTO mode and no longer maintain the set engine rpm. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook *Note: For model year 2001 HD engines this parameter was referred to as PTO Vehicle Speed Limit, the name was changed for HD engines afterwards. Range:
Range Minimum 1 MPH (2 km/h) Maximum 127 MPH (204 km/h) Cat Default 1 MPH (2 km/h)
Advantages: Some Dedicated PTO applications use transmission driven PTOs. In some cases the vehicle is required to travel at speeds in excess of the 15 MPH limit. That was not possible with the combined Idle/PTO Vehicle Speed Limit parameter. The customer now has the exibility to limit vehicle speed in both Idle and Dedicated PTO operation. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Refer to RENR1282 for more specic details

PTO Activates Cooling Fan

Description: If the ECM is being used to run the engine cooling fan circuit, this parameter can be programmed to have the cooling fan cycle normally (based on Coolant Temperature or Inlet Air Temperature or A/C High Pressure) or run continuously when in the Dedicated PTO Mode. Note: The PTO Conguration must be programmed to Cab Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle or Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command before this parameter can be programmed. The Fan Control Type must also be programmed to On-Off or Three Speed Fan. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Normal Continuous Cat Default Normal Dedicated PTO Parameters
Advantages: Some applications require the fan to be on continuously during PTO operation. This can be accomplished without additional wiring by programming this parameter. Disadvantages: If the application does not require continuous fan operation but the ECM is programmed to Continuous mode, excessive fuel may be consumed, increasing overall cost of operation. Recommendations: Refer to RENR1282 for additional information.

Description: The Exhaust Brake Conguration parameter determines the functionality of the exhaust brake. This parameter can be programmed to one of the following options: None, Warm Up Device Only, Exhaust Brake Only, or Exhaust Brake & Warm Up Device. The exhaust brake can be used to apply a parasitic load to the engine in order to aid engine warm up to achieve normal operating temperature quicker. To use this feature, the Exhaust Brake Conguration parameter must be set to either Warm Up Device Only or Exhaust Brake and Warm Up Device. Also, the Warm Up Mode Idle Speed parameter must be programmed to an engine speed between 700 rpm and 1400 rpm. If these preceding conditions are met, then the engine will ramp up to the programmed Warm Up Mode Idle Speed parameter value when the intake air temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the coolant temperature is below 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Available: 3126E, C7, and C9 medium duty engines Range:

Description: Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit and Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limit are meant to approximate ideal progressive shifting. Lower Gear Engine RPM Limiting should be used in conjunction with Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limiting. However, you can choose to use only Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit if that is best suited to your operation. Both Lower and Intermediate Gears RPM Limiting have soft rpm limits. This means if you are in a heavily loaded condition or starting on an especially steep grade and do not want to shift until the engine reaches higher rpm, the limit will not stop you. If not heavily loaded, it simply slows the acceleration rate of the engine when you pass the programmed setting, prompting the driver to shift for the most normal operations. The maximum engine acceleration rate above the Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit is 33 rpm/sec and 25 rpm/sec for Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limiting. The engine can accelerate all the way to your programmed Top Engine limit (TEL) when necessary and will not be noticed by most drivers if properly programmed to t your application. Once the Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit has been determined, the Lower Gears Turn Off Speed is selected. It is the speed at which the Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit no longer applies but the Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limit does. It is selected as the mean vehicle speed between where the Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit intersects the line of gear to be limited and the line of the next highest gear. Next, Intermediate Gear Engine RPM Limit and Intermediate Gears Turn Off Speed are selected in much the same way. The values for all four parameters are automatically calculated when using Cat Design Pro. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook

Advantages: Lower Gears Engine RPM Limiting and Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limiting improve fuel economy by promoting progressive shifting. Needlessly winding up the engine to higher RPMs before up shifting wastes both fuel and time while failing to take advantage of Caterpillars exceptional low rpm torque.
Page 77
Disadvantages: This setting provides minimal fuel savings for long haul operations unless the driver stops frequently and regularly tries to wind it up. Recommendations: Each of these parameters should be left at the factory default value when using an Automatic Transmission, with the exception of Eaton Top 2.
Lower Gears Limit
Set the Lower Gears Limit no lower than Peak Torque rpm + 200 rpm. Properly setting this parameter requires a close look at many factors, including engine rating, terrain and application. For example, heavy-duty engines are typically set at the following: 1200 rpm + 200 rpm = 1400 rpm Note how Lower Gears and Intermediate Gears setting t in the total spec, especially in respect to Top Engine Limiting (stair step effect).

Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed
OE
Description: Gear Down Protection allows you to set an engine rpm limit for the higher gears that ensures cruising speed can only be reached in top gear. Gear Down Protection has two parameters to specify. The rst is the Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed. This is the point, in either mph or km/h, where the RPM limit rst takes effect. In the illustration below the Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed is set at 45 MPH. The second parameter is the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit. It is set at 1600 rpm in the illustration. With some driveline combinations cruising speed can only be reached while in the transmissions top gear; the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit would not have to be set for these trucks

Advantages: Gear Down Protection helps ensure that the truck is run in the correct (highest possible) gear at cruising speed. Properly setting these parameters will keep the engine in the most fuel efcient rpm range to achieve the best fuel economy at cruising speed. Disadvantages (possible): Some driveline combination can allow a driver to reach cruising speed in more than one gear even with this feature properly set. However, gear down protection is still moderately effective in these situations and should be used. If the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit is set too low, the driver may have to wait too long to downshift when climbing steep grades with heavy loads. This may cause the driver to drop two transmission gears, when one would have been adequate. Recommendations: Set the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit such that highway cruising speeds can only be reached in top gear (Use Cat Design Pro). Set Gear Down Protection RPM Limit high enough that engine rpm does not drop below peak torque plus 100 rpm during upshift. Set the Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed well below the cruise speed. As with all electronic shift strategies, do not set gear-on speeds on top of shift points.

Top Engine Limiting (TEL)
OE
Description: Top Engine Limit (TEL) sets the maximum engine rpm value (The 3116 HEUI, 3126B and 3126 HEUI are not programmable). Note: This programmable feature is only available on 1998 and older engines. Note: Lockable on Pre-EPA07 Software Only Available: 1998 and older C-10, C-12, 3176B and 3406E truck engines. Range:

Advantage: Lower maximum engine rpm limts can save fuel. Some applications, including automatic transmissions, require 1900+ rpm, This feature allows the exibility to program an operating range to meet your specic need. Disadvantages: Most applications can be effectively accomplished without taking an engine above 1800 rpm under power. An engine which has a higher programmed TEL can potentially use more fuel. Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends programming TEL to 1820 rpm unless an automatic transmission requires 1800 - 2100 rpm for proper operatio. All other settings should be application specic and programmed on a case-by-case basis from 1600 - 2120 rpm. High performance operators and heavy haulers should set TEL toward the maximum

Low Idle Engine RPM

OE
Description: The programmable Low Idle Engine RPM feature sets the minimum engine speed according to driver preferences. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Engine Minimum C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 3126E, C7, C9 600 RPM 700 RPM Maximum 750 RPM 800 RPM Cat Default 600 RPM 700 RPM
Advantages: The ability to specify the low idle rpm can be very helpful if a different low idle rpm is needed, either to suit unique operating conditions or if there is resonant vibration at a specic rpm ( mirrors, rattles, etc. ). Lower idle rpm in conjunction with the proper load starting technique (no throttle starts) also reduces clutch wear. Disadvantages: Idling at higher speed increases fuel consumption and engine wear. Every effort should be made to stay as low as possible. Recommendations: This adjustment is rarely required and should be done on a case by case basis.

Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch

OE
Description: The Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch parameter is programmed as either Yes or No. When programmed to Yes, this parameter disables the top 2 mode when the cruise switch is OFF and the transmission is not yet in the top 2 gears. When the cruise switch is in the ON position, the top 2 mode is enabled. If the cruise switch is in the OFF position while in one of the top 2 gears, the ECM will go into a hold mode where the transmission will not be shifted from the currently selected gear. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines Range:
Engine Range Cat Default
C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, Yes No C13, C15 No Note: This feature is unavailable when the Transmission Style parameter is not programmed to Eaton Top 2.
Advantages: The Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch parameter gives the operator more control over the transmission shifting in vehicles which are equipped with Eaton Top 2 transmissions. Disadvantages: Extra consideration should be made when cresting a hill to avoid the top 2 feature from downshifting prior to cresting a hill. See recommendations below for further details. Recommendations: The hold mode mentioned above is typically used when cresting the top of a hill. Good driving habits suggest lugging the engine back up to 200 rpm below peak torque in the current gear if cresting a hill is possible within a short period of time. In order to do this, the operator must override the automatic top 2 shifting to hold the transmission in top gear. If not, the top 2 feature will perform a downshift prior to cresting the top of the hill.

Top Gear Ratio Top Gear Minus One Ratio Top Gear Minus Two Ratio
Description: The Top Gear Ratio parameter refers to the Eaton Top 2 Gear Ratios that are used by the ECM to decide when to energize the Shift and Lockout solenoid outputs (required for the Eaton Top 2 feature) when shifting between the top two gears in vehicles equipped with Eaton Top 2 transmissions. These parameters are Top Gear Ratio, Top Gear Minus One Ratio, and Top Gear Minus Two Ratio. These parameters have no effect if the Transmission Style parameter is not programmed to Eaton Top 2, however they must be correctly programmed if it is programmed to Eaton Top 2. Top Gear Ratio This ratio identies the highest gear ratio for an Eaton Top 2 Transmission. The programmable range is shown in the table below. Note that for Gear Fast Run Slow (GFRS) ratings the default value should be 0.731. Top Gear Minus One Ratio This ratio identies the second highest gear ratio for an Eaton Top 2 Transmission. The programmable range is shown in the table below. Note that for Gear Fast Run Slow (GFRS) ratings, the default value should be 0.856. Top Gear Minus Two Ratio This ratio identies the third highest gear ratio for an Eaton Top 2 Transmission. The programmable range is shown in the table below. Note that for Gear Fast Run Slow (GFRS) ratings, the default value should be 1.00. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines Range:
Engine Minimum Maximum 3.750 Cat Default 0.000
C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, 0.000 C11, C13, C15 All three ratios share the same range above.
Note: The XX appearing in the transmission model number refers to (x) 100=Nominal Torque Capacity. For example, RTLO-14613A has a Nominal Torque capacity of 14 (x) 100 or 1400 lb ft. The transmission model designation and other transmission identication information are stamped on the transmission tag on the lower left side near the front of the transmission.
Page 85
Engine/Gear Parameters Page 86
Advantages: When properly programmed, these parameters allow the Eaton Top 2 Transmission to effectively control automatic shifting in the top 2 gears. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: These parameters must be precisely programmed to three decimal places to ensure proper operation of the Eaton Top 2 transmission and the engine in the top 2 gears. Not programming this parameter precisely may result in a 253-11 Check Transmission Customer Parameters diagnostic code.
Gear Fast/Run Slow Gear Fast/Run Super Slow

Description: Gear Fast/Run Slow (GFRS) and Gear Fast/Run Super Slow (GFRSS) are specing methods to promote improved fuel economy through lower engine speed and faster gearing. GFRS/GFRSS only applies for a multi-torque rating allowing at least a 1750 lb-ft upper torque value. GFRS/GFRSS is applicable for van, reefer, and tanker applications, with a GVW of 80,000 lbs. The following table matches axle ratios with the appropriate drive axle tires revolutions per mile, specically for the GFRSS designation. While GFRS/GFRSS is not an electronicallyprogrammable parameter, it has been included in this handbook to supplement the Eaton Top 2 transmission programming parameters. The results of employing GFRS/GFRSS can be seen by entering appropriate data into Cat Design Pro. Available: C-15, C-16, C13, C15 heavy duty engines (Provided sufcient torque is available - see recommendation below) Range:
Axle Ratio Drive Axle Tires Revolutions/Mile
1300 - 1350 RPM @ 65 MPH 3.21 3.25 3.36 3.42 3.55 3.58 513 to 531 506 to 525 490 to 508 481 to 499 464 to 480 460 to 476
Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends that the engine have at least 1750 lb-ft of torque available for GFRSS
Page 87
AT/MT/HT Part Throttle Shift Speed

Description: The AT/MT/HT Part Throttle Shift Speed parameter provides the ability to change the shifting characteristics in vehicles equipped with non-data link capable Allison transmissions. The Allison AT/ MT/HT (nonelectronic) transmissions require an input from the engine ECM to regulate transmission shifting. The ECM monitors accelerator pedal position, engine speed, load, and cruise control status to determine if the transmission should use closed throttle or full throttle shift modulation. Programming the Transmission Style parameter to one of the AT/MT/HT options activates ECM Output #7 (J1/P1:20) to control a shift interface relay connected to the transmission. The ECM can then energize the output when the transmission should use full throttle modulation (performance mode) or disable the output when the transmission should use closed throttle modulation (economy mode). Available: 3126E, C7, and C9 medium duty engines. Not available on 2007 and newer engines. Range:
Alternatives Low (80% Enable/ 65% Disable) Medium (70% Enable/ 55% Disable) Default High (60% Enable/ 45% Disable) Engine/Gear Parameters Page 88
Advantages: This parameter provides additional control over shifting characteristics of the non-data link capable Allison transmissions. This additional control enables a driver to optimize the transmissions behavior depending upon the specic application. Disadvantages: None
Governor Type
OE
Description: Caterpillar offers three governor options, selectable with the Governor Type parameter. These three options are the Full Range Governor, and two types of the Min/Max Governor. Full Range Governor This governor type allows the engine to maintain engine speed for a given throttle position. The Full Range Governor is capable of injecting the maximum amount of fuel for a given desired engine speed. The Full Range Governor is very sensitive to changes in engine speed, and is therefore not the preferred governor type for vehicles using automatic transmissions. For example, if the ECM wants to maintain 1500 rpm, the governor will try to maintain the desired speed. When an automatic transmission performs an upshift, the actual engine speed will fall below the desired engine speed of 1500 rpm. The Full Range Governor would then inject a large amount of fuel in an attempt to increase the engine speed back up to the desired engine speed of 1500 rpm. This causes undesirable, harsh shifting with an automatic transmission. Min/Max Governor The Min/Max Governor, however, is well-suited for vehicles with automatic transmissions. The Min/ Max governor will only control engine speed when at the minimum (low idle) or maximum (top engine limit) allowed engine speed. When in between these two extremes, the engine will produce the power proportional to the throttle position. This results in smoother shifting with automatic/automated transmissions. The Min/Max Governor optimizes automatic transmission shift quality and power modulation, allowing the operator to adjust the engine power output to match typical vehicle operating conditions. The engine speed will vary to nd a vehicle load level which will match the engine power output specied by the throttle. If the throttle is commanding more power than the vehicle load will offer, the engine will accelerate to the top engine limit. This makes it very difcult to maintain a constant engine speed when the vehicle is parked. Slightly depressing the throttle pedal with the vehicle parked will cause the engine to go to the top engine limit, which may be undesirable for applications that require precise engine speed control while parked. This problem can be solved by the third governor type.
Engine/Gear Parameters Page 89
Min/Max Governor with Speed Control The Min/Max Governor with Speed Control offers the best combination of the Full Range Governor and the Min/Max Governor. It provides smooth shifting with automatic/automated transmissions while driving, and precise engine speed control when the vehicle is parked.

Advantages: The Governor Type parameter allows the operator to customize engine speed control by specifying the appropriate governor for the selected transmission type. When the Governor Type is properly set as recommended below, optimum engine speed control is achieved. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: The Full Range Governor is recommended for vehicles with manual transmissions. The Min/Max Governor is recommended for vehicles with automatic/automated transmissions. The Min/Max Governor with Speed Control is recommended for all automatic/automated transmission-equipped vehicles with that require precise engine speed control when parked.

Transmission Neutral Start Interlock
OE
Description: The Transmission Neutral Start Interlock allows the engine ECM to monitor the J1929 ETC #7 message from the transmission coltroller to either enable of disable the engine from cranking. The Engine Running Output must be programmed to a low side driver (J1/P1: 29, 30, or 31) and the Powertrain Datalink must be programmed to J1939 for this feature to function. Programming the Neutral Start Interlock parameter to Enabled when the ETC #7 message is not present or a failure of the J1939 datalink, will result in the engine not starting. Available: EPA07 and newer C7, C9, C13 and C15 engines. Range:

Cold Mode Idle Shutdown Timer Enable

Description: This feature is only available if the Engine Idle Shutdown System is programmed to Caterpillar. The Cold Mode Idle Shutdown Timer Enable parameter determines if the Idle Shutdown System will operate if Engine Coolant Temperature is less than 38 C (100 F) and the engine has been running for less than 15 minutes. When set to Disable (default) the Idle Shutdown System will not operate if Engine Coolant Temperature is less than 38 C (100 F) and the engine has been running for less than 15 minutes. If the engine has been running (between low idle and top engine limit) for 15 minutes, the Idle Shutdown System is enabled regardless of engine coolant temperature. When set to Enabled, the Idle Shutdown System will operate regardless of engine coolant temperature. Available: 2008 and newer C7, C9, C13 & C15 on-highway engines Range:
Engine 2008 and newer C7, C9, C13 & C15 Range Enabled Disabled Cat Default Disabled
Advantages: Allows exiability to control idle time for maximum driver comfort and minimal fuel usage. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption is greater if idling. Recommendations: Use Cold Mode Idle Shutdown Timer Enable only if cab conditions require temperature control.
Engine Idle Shutdown Timer Reset Enable

Description: This feature is only available if the Engine Idle Shutdown System is programmed to Caterpillar. The Engine Idle Shutdown Timer Reset Enable determines if the Idle Shutdown Timer can be reset by depressing the Cab Accelerator Pedal. When programmed to Enabled (default) the operator can reset the Idle Shutdown Timer during the driver alert phase, by depressing the Cab Accelerator Pedal. Available: 2008 and newer C7, C9, C13 & C15 on-highway engines Range:

Advantages: Allows idle to continue based on driver input if parameter is programmed to Enabled. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption is greater if idling. Recommendations: Use the default value of Enabled and instruct the driver to only reset the Idle Shutdown when necessary.
Page 107
Idle Shutdown Timer (0 = off)

Description: The Idle Shutdown Timer is designed to shut down the engine after a specied idle period. For the shutdown to occur, certain conditions must be met for the entire timeout period. These conditions include: cold mode inactive and vehicle speed must be 0 (zero) mph. If these conditions are met, then 90 seconds* before the customer specied idle time is reached, the check engine light will start ashing at a rapid rate. If either the brake or clutch pedals are depressed during this nal 90 seconds when the lamp is ashing, the idle shutdown timer will be disabled, if the Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter is programmed to Yes (see page 111). This allows the driver to override the idle shutdown timer if necessary to keep the truck idling. If the Engine Emissions Certication Conguration parameter is programmed to CARB(ESS) the Idle Shutdown Timer may only be reset, not disabled. If the idle shutdown timer is overridden, the ECM will log the override as a Logged Event. These Logged Events can be viewed with a service tool. If the timer is set to 0 (zero), the Idle Shutdown feature is turned off. If the truck/engine is wired for PTO use, the Idle Shutdown Timer will not be active when PTO mode is active. In this case PTO shutdown time would be used for the shutdown time. It is important that the engine/ truck be wired for PTO, since if it is not, the engine could shutdown after the idle shutdown time while in PTO mode Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook. Range:
Range Engine Minimum EPA04 EPA07 and newer CARB 2008 and newer 3 Minutes 1 Minute* 1 Minute* Maximum 1440 Minutes 1440 Minutes 5 Minutes Cat Default 0 Minutes 0 Minutes 5 Minutes
Page 108
Timer Parameters
* If programmed to 1 minute the driver notication period is 30 seconds. For all other times the driver notication period is 90 seconds.
Advantages: The idle shutdown timer has several advantages. One is that it encourages drivers to shut the engine off before leaving the truck for an extended period of time. The other advantages include the ability to limit unnecessary idle time, save fuel and reduce engine wear. Disadvantages: When the engine shuts down as a result of the Idle Shutdown Timer the trucks dash remains hot. To avoid draining the batteries the ignition key must be switched to the off position after the engine shuts down. Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends that this parameter be set in the 3 to 5 minute range for most operation. Check with the truck manufacturer as to the availability of the optional wiring to shut the trucks electrical system off after an Idle Shutdown event.
Idle Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM

Description: The Idle Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM parameter is only available if the Engine Idle System Conguration is programmed to Caterpillar. The Idle Shutdown Timer is reset if engine speed exceeds Idle Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM. Programming this parameter to Top Engine Limit RPM disables this feature and Idle Shutdown Timer cannot be overridden by increasing engine RPM. Available: EPA04 and newer C13 & C15 on-highway engines EPA07 and newer C7 & C9 on-highway engines Range:
Range Engine Minimum EPA07 and newer C7 & C9 EPA04 and newer C13 & C15 700 RPM 600 RPM Maximum 2640 RPM 2120 RPM Cat Default 2640 RPM 2120 RPM
Advantages: May reduce accidental extended idle time if accelerator is depressed. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends setting this parameter to 1000 RPM.
Allow Idle Shutdown Override

Description: The Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter determines whether the clutch or service brake can be used to override the Idle Shutdown Timer during the last 90 seconds of timing. The Idle Shutdown Timer parameter must be programmed to a value other than 0 (zero). The Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter has three different settings.
Yes - Allows the driver to override the Idle Shutdown
Timer Parameters
Timer during the last 90 seconds* of timing. (If the driver does override the timer an Idle Shutdown Override Event will be logged in the ECM memory)
No - The driver can not override the Idle Shutdown
Timer during the last 90 seconds* of timing. In other words, the truck will always shutdown. (When the engine does shutdown at the end of the Idle Shutdown Time period an Idle Shutdown Occurrence event will be logged in the ECM memory).
Outside Temperature Based - If the truck has the op-
tional Outside Air Temperature Sensor installed (see authorized Cat Dealer or truck OEM for part number) and the Minimum and Maximum Idle Shutdown Outside Temperature parameters are properly programmed (see page 114), then Idle Shutdown will be based on the Outside Air Temperature.
* If the Idle Shutdown Timer parameter is programmed to 1 minute the driver notication period is 30 seconds. For all other times the driver notication period is 90 seconds.

Advantages: By programming the Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter to No, it is guaranteed that the truck will shutdown at the programmed time. This can increase fuel economy and decrease engine wear. The Outside Temperature Based setting allows the exibility of a dened temperature range where the engine will always shutdown along with temperature ranges where the driver can override the shutdown, allowing the use of air conditioning or heating. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends setting this parameter to No for most applications when the driver is not required to sleep in the truck. Caterpillar recommends the installation of the optional temperature sensor and setting this parameter to Outside Temperature Based for applications when the driver is required to sleep in the truck. Refer to Special Instruction SEHS9920 for installation details.

Idle Shutdown Ignore Neutral Switch

Description: The Idle Shutdown Ignore Neutral Switch parameter allows the operator/owner to decide if the Idle Shutdown system will look at the state of the transmission neutral switch. Programmable options are Not Ignore (default) and Ignore. When set to Not Ignore, the engine will monitor the state of the transmission neutral switch (if programmed) and determine when to enable/disable the Idle Shutdown Timer. When set to Ignore, the engine will ignore the state of the transmission neutral switch (if programmed). Regardless of transmission state, in neutral/in gear, the Idle Shutdown Timer will still be enabled. The Idle Shutdown Ignore Neutral Switch is lockable using the Caterpillar Service Tool.

Engine Monitoring Mode

OE
Description: The Engine Monitoring System provides built-in engine monitoring that can detect abnormal oil pressure, high intake manifold air temperature, high coolant temperature and if an optional Coolant Level Sensor is installed, coolant level. Typically, an additional Warning lamp is installed in the dash for driver notication. The Engine Monitoring System can be programmed to one of four different settings:
Off - Monitoring System is Off Warning - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns On Derate - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns On and
engine power is reduced

Shutdown - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns On,
engine power is reduced, then the engine shuts down.

Monitoring Engine Oil Pressure Optional High Coolant Temperature Low Coolant Level Optional
3126E, C7, C9 C-10, C-12, C15, C-16, C11, C13, C15
Optional
Abnormal Oil Pressure - Engine oil pressure is monitored for all rpm and loads. For example, this can help prevent excessive damage if the engine is started without oil or if the oil pressure is too low during a heavy pull. Power and speed (engine rpm) are limited during the derate period following the warning if the Derate or Shutdown settings are programmed. If the low oil pressure condition persists, the engine will shutdown if the Shutdown setting is active. High Coolant Temperature - Engine coolant temperature is monitored to provide gradual power reductions as the coolant temperature increases above the acceptable limits if the Engine Monitoring Mode is programmed to Derate or Shutdown. The driver can downshift to increase rpm and coolant ow in this mode. If the high coolant temperature condition persists, and the Engine Monitoring Mode parameter is programmed to Shutdown, the engine will shutdown.
Page 118
Example: Coolant Temperature Derate/ Shutdown Rated Hp = 400 Hp Delta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 Hp
100% Rated Power
75% Delta Power 50% 25% Derate Max (160 Hp) or 45 MPH Check Engine Lamp "ON" Warning Lamp Flash

160 Hp
Shutdown occurs 20 Seconds After Derate Max is reached if Temperature remains at of above 223 F(106 C)
217 F (103 C)
223 F (106 C)
Coolant Temperature
As Coolant temperature rises to 217 F (103 C) the engine is derated by 25% of the Delta Hp. In this example 240 Hp x .25 = 60 Hp. The driver would have 340 Hp available. If the driver reacted by downshifting, for example, and the temperature did not rise, the power would stay at this level. However, if the coolant temperature continued to increase, to 219 F (104 C) the driver would lose another 25% or 60 Hp and have 280 Hp in this example. If the temperature continues to rise to 223 F (106 C) the maximum derate would occur. In this example 100% of the Delta Hp or 240 Hp. The truck would be limited to 160 Hp or 45 MPH (72.5 km/h) which ever occurs rst. If Shutdown has been selected as the Engine Monitoring Mode, and the temperature remained above 223 F (106 C) the engine would shutdown 20 seconds after the maximum derate had been reached. (Shutdown Mode is not available for BrakeSaver equipped engines.) Low Coolant Level - Coolant level is monitored if an OEM sensor is installed and the coolant level option is activated. To avoid false alarms a warning delay or debounce period prevents the system from warning the driver if the coolant level uctuates rapidly, such as it could while traversing bumpy terrain. Vehicle speed is limited during the derate period following the warning if Derate or Shutdown settings are programmed. If the low coolant level persists the engine will shutdown if the Shutdown mode has been selected.
Page 119
Engine Monitoring Lamps
High Inlet Manifold Air Temperature - While this feature is part of the monitoring system it will not affect operation of the engine other than the normal power loss you would experience without a monitoring system. The driver will simply be alerted and a fault logged as it is when any one of the monitored conditions exceeds acceptable limits. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range *Warning Derate Shutdown Cat Default Derate
*Warning is for emergency vehicles only
Advantages: If a monitored engine fault should occur, such as low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low coolant level, and the engine monitoring system is in one of its active modes, the engine electronics can warn the driver, derate or even shutdown the engine, depending upon how the system has been programmed. The additional expense of add-on systems can be avoided by using the Caterpillar system. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Use the setting which best matches your requirements, however, Caterpillar recommends using the Shutdown mode for most applications. If another monitoring system is used, set the Caterpillar system to Off to avoid interaction with the installed system. When specing your truck ask that the coolant level sensor be installed and activated. This may be an additional cost option, but less than the cost of another monitoring system.

Note: The Low Oil Pressure Lamp is programmable between High Side (2 Amp) and Low Side (Sensor Common) Drivers. Failure to properly program and/or wire the lamp correctly could result in undesired Red Stop Lamp operation. Available: 3126E, C7, C9 and all EPA07 and newer on-highway engines Range:
Not Programmed
Note: Prior to 2007, the Low Oil Pressure Lamp connection was determined by the option chosen for the Engine Monitoring Lamps conguration.
Pre-2007 Factory Settings:

Engine GM530/540 GMT560 Other Range None None Installed None Installed Cat Default None Installed None
Advantages: This parameter provides the operator with engine oil pressure information via a vehicle instrument cluster oil pressure gauge, enabling the operator to more closely monitor the engine oil pressure status.
Page 127
Comments: The oil pressure sensor is standard on all heavy duty on-highway engines and is an integral part of the engine monitoring system. However, the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor is optional on medium duty engines and is not required for engine monitoring. Medium duty engines have a HEUI (Hydraulically actuated Electronically controlled Unit Injector) fuel system that uses high pressure oil to inject fuel. If the engine oil pressure is too low, the fuel system cannot supply fuel to the engine. Therefore, by the design of the fuel system, it is impossible to run the engine without sufcient engine oil pressure.

Oil Level Switch Installation Status
OE
Description: The Oil Level Switch Installation Status parameter is only available on medium duty on-highway engines when the Truck Manufacturer parameter is programmed to GM and the Truck Model parameter is programmed to GMT-560. This parameter congures the ECM to monitor a normally-opened OEM-installed oil level switch mounted in the oil pan and wired to the ECMs engine connector (J2). Proper oil level keeps this switch closed, but if the oil level is too low, the switch will be opened. The ECM reads the status of the switch on each power-up. If three sequential engine starts show an open switch, low oil level is indicated. Available: 3126E, C7, C9 medium duty engines (GMT560 only) Range:
Range Enabled Disabled Cat Default Disabled
Advantages: This parameter enables the operator of a GMT-560 truck with a medium duty engine the ability to more closely monitor the engine oil level via an OEM-installed oil level switch. Disadvantages: None *Note: Not supported in 2007.

Maintenance Indicator Mode

Description: The Maintenance Indicator will send a signal via the datalink to either a service tool, optional Cat ID or Cat Messenger, some OEM installed electronic dash displays or the Fleet Information Software program indicating that maintenance will be due in 3,000 miles or less. This allows for the convenient scheduling of service. The preferred way for the ECM to calculate when the next preventive maintenance (PM) is due is to compare the actual amount of fuel used by the engine, to the engine oil capacity. (This method is based on the fact that engine oil additives will become depleted over time based on the amount of fuel burned and oil capacity) The customer has the option of setting a specic hour or mileage (km) Preventive Maintenance (PM) Interval. This is done by programming the Maintenance Indicator Mode to one of four options:
Manual - Distance Fixed number of Miles (km) Manual - Hours Fixed number of Hours Automatic - Distance ECM Calculated Miles (km) Automatic - Hours ECM Calculated Hours
If either Manual mode is selected, the PM1 Interval (see page 133) parameter must be programmed to the desired distance or hours. If either Automatic mode is selected, the Engine Oil Capacity (see page 134) parameter must be programmed to the oil capacity. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Off Manual-Distance Manual-Hours Automatic-Distance Automatic-Hours Cat Default
Off
Note: For GMT560 PM OCT01 and newer, Default is Automatic Distance
Page 131
Maintenance Parameters Page 132
Advantages: This feature allows the customer to take advantage of the built-in maintenance due reminder feature of the engine electronics while maintaining PM intervals tailored to specic operation. For instance, an extended oil change interval may have been developed with the careful use of Scheduled Oil Sampling. The ECM can then be programmed to the extended interval. Disadvantages: The customer specied PM interval may not be the optimum maintenance interval. Maintenance intervals based on older technology engines may be too short and can raise the total cost of ownership. Recommendations: For most on-highway applications use of the Automatic-Distance mode is the most effective means to mange preventative maintenance.
PM1 Interval
Description: If the Maintenance Indicator Mode (see page 131) parameter has been programmed for either manual mode; Manual-Distance or Manual - Hours, then the PM1 Interval parameter must be programmed to the desired miles or hours. Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range: Manual - Distance

Advantages: By using either manual mode the owner will be notied of an upcoming PM interval based on his/her standard interval. Disadvantages: The customer specied PM interval may not be the optimum maintenance interval. Maintenance intervals based on older technology engines may be too short and can raise the total cost of ownership. Recommendations: Contact your authorized dealer for help in creating customized PM intervals.
Page 133
Engine Oil Capacity

OE
Description: If the Maintenance Indicator Mode parameter has been programmed for either automatic mode; AutomaticDistance or Automatic - Hours, then the Engine Oil Capacity parameter must be programmed to the proper amount of oil in the engine. If a device that increases oil capacity, like a remote mounted bypass lter, is added the ECM could be recommending oil changes more often than warranted unless the new oil capacity is programmed into the ECM. With the amount of oil programmed, the ECM can then calculate when the next Preventive Maintenance (PM) is due is to compare the actual amount of fuel used to the engine oil capacity. (This method is based on the fact that engine oil additives will become depleted over time based on the amount of fuel burned and oil capacity.) Available: All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook Range:
Range Minimum 20 Quarts (19 Liters) Maximum 60 Quarts (57 Liters) Cat Default See next table

* C11 & C13 shallow oil sump **C-15 & C-16 w/Front Sump BrakeSaver engines should be programmed to 52 quarts (49 liters). Page 134
Advantages: Additional oil capacity may be added to an engine after it is installed in the truck and the user can continue to effectively use the Maintenance Indicator by simply adjusting the oil sump capacity parameter. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: In most cases, the factory default value is correct. This default value would only need to be changed if additional oil capacity was added to the engine. Caterpillar recommends this correction be made with the help of an authorized dealer.

Fuel Correction Factor

Description: The Fuel Correction Factor parameter allows an owner to correct for fuel rate measurement variations. Incorrectly setting this parameter can cause the reporting of incorrect fuel consumption data. This correction factor is calculated by comparing the amount of fuel burned to the ECM reported value. A percentage () is then entered into the ECM using the service tool or Fleet Information Software. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines and all 2007 On-Highway Engines Range:
Range Minimum -63.5% Maximum 63.5% Cat Default 0
Trip Parameters
Advantages: The Fuel Correction Factor parameter allows the customer to ne tune the ECM to insure that it is accurately calculating the fuel consumption rate. It is important that the fuel rate be accurately recorded since it is used for calculations such as fuel mileage and PM. Disadvantages: None Recommendations: Caterpillar recommends that the Fuel Correction Factor be used only if there is a consistent and well documented need. At that time Caterpillar recommends that is only be done by an authorized dealer.
Note: This feature should not be confused with the fuel temperature power correction feature of the ECM. The ECM measures the fuel temperature and automatically adjusts the fuel rate to compensate for hot fuel. If the Fuel Correction Factor is changed, it will not change the data currently stored in the ECM. It will only change data collected after the change.
Page 137
Example: New FCF = (100 + Old FCF) x ECM - Tank + Old FCF Tank

Driver Reward
OE M
Driver Reward Enable ..........
Driver Reward Page 151
Driver Reward
The Driver Reward feature is used to reward drivers for staying within the operating limits set forth by the eet manager. This results in improved fuel efciency for the eet, as well as performance incentive for drivers. The following ve parameters are monitored and recorded by the ECM to be used in Driver Reward calculations: Average Engine Speed Average Vehicle Speed Average Upshift RPM Average Throttle Demand Average Percent Idle Time The eet manager can prioritize these objectives by assigning a weight to each, adding up to a total of 100% for all ve. An objective can be effectively turned off by weighting it with 0. Rewards can then be assigned to drivers in the form of increased Vehicle Speed Limits. In addition, the averaging time period over which the ve objectives are calculated can be tailored to a specic eets needs. Once the desired objectives are set, the engine electronics take over and manage the program. The Driver Reward feature can reduce the variability of a eets fuel efciency by placing a more strict Vehicle Speed Limit value on drivers who do not meet eet performance objectives. Increased vehicle speed for high-performance drivers will help with driver retention, while reducing the Vehicle Speed Limit for poor drivers will improve overall eet fuel efciency. The Driver Reward feature can be activated using Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). In addition, the necessary parameters, such as the objectives weighting discussed above, and the VSL bonuses for drivers, can be programmed using ET.

Since this data can be reset by the driver at anytime, it can be a subset of the Fleet Trip Totals. An example can be the Fleet Trip and Driver Trip data could be reset at the same time at the beginning of the trip. The driver could then manually record the Driver Trip Data when he/she reached their rst destination. After recording the data, the driver would reset the Driver Trip Data and proceed on with the next leg of the trip, manually recording and resetting after each leg. Upon arriving back at home base the driver would have the various segments written down and the ECM would have the data for the entire trip stored in the Fleet Trip Data. An evaluation could then be made, using the overall Fleet Trip Totals and the various Driver Trip Totals of each leg. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, & C15 heavy duty and all EPA07 on-highway engines

Multi-Torque Ratings
OE
Description: Multi-Torque is an optional engine rating that provides two different torque or power curves for a single rating. The engine operates on the standard torque curve in the lower gears and on the multi-torque curve in the top 4 gears. The number of gears in which multi-torque is operational depends on the drivetrain component specication. Either 100 or 200 lb-ft of additional torque, depending upon the rating, is typical at peak torque when operating in the multi-torque mode.
Multi-Torque Standard Torque
1000
1200
1400
1600
1800
The ECM determines when the vehicle is in the top gears by calculating the ratio of engine speed to vehicle speed. The number of affected gears is determined by the selected Multi-Torque Rating feature. Available: C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines Advantages: With the additional torque the truck can crest the hill without shifting. This can increase fuel efciency, reduce wear and increase driver satisfaction.
Page 234
Multi-Torque Ratios
Description: This parameter is used to select the desired MultiTorque trip point. Multi-Torque ratings allow the engine to provide additional torque or additional horsepower and torque when the transmission is operating in higher gears. The trip point is determined by a ratio of engine speed versus vehicle speed. The three programmable options represent the different trip point values listed below: Pre-PM MAR04 MT-4: Turn on ratio is 71.5 rpm/mph & below (Top 4 Gears) MT-2: Turn on ratio is 37.6 rpm/mph & below (Top 2 Gears) MT-1: Turn on ratio is 27.9 rpm/mph & below (Top 1 Gear) PM MAR04 and After MT-C: Turn on ratio is 38 rpm/mph & below (Top 4 Gears) MT-B: Turn on ratio is 33 rpm/mph & below (Top 2 Gears) MT-A: Turn on ratio is 27.9 rpm/mph & below (Top 1 Gear) NOTE: This feature is not used with standard engine ratings, it is only available for Multi-Torque ratings.

DPF Ash Service Interval

Description: Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) were added to all OnHighway engines beginning with EPA07 engine model year. These lters captures particulate material in the exhaust. After regeneration a small amount of ash remains in the DPF. The ash builts up over time and effects DPF and engine performance. To restore the DPF and engine to maximum performance and fuel economy, the ash must be removed from the DPF. Your local authorized dealer can perform the ash removal service. Recommendation:
C7, C9 175,000 miles (280,000 km) or 5,000 Hours 250,000 mile (400, 000 km) or 5,000 Hours Miscellaneous Information
C13, C15
When the ash service is performed, the servicing dealer must reset the Ash Service Reset parameter. If the engine ECM has FEB09 (Heavy Duty) or newer software, or MAR09 (Medium Duty) or newer software the engine will log a diagnostic trouble code 3720-15 to denote that the ash service is past due.
Page 241
DPF Regeneration
Description: With the addition of Diesel Particulate Filters with EPA07 engine DPF regeneration was required to keep the DPF working at peak efciency. Caterpillar DPFs regenerate automatically under most driving conditions and requires no driver intervention. In most cases the driver is unaware that the DPF is regenerating. Two DPF related dash lamps were added by most OEMs, the DPF Lamp and the High Exhaust System Termperature (HEST) Lamp. For information on the function of these two lamps refer to The DPF Lamps, Switches and Driver Tips brochure, LEDT7022, and The DPF Regeneraiton Quick Reference Card, LEDT8906.

Trip Preparation Tips

Improving Fuel Efciency Page 244
Achieving improved fuel efciency begins even before the engine is started. Trip preparation is fundamental to ensuring efcient fuel efciency once your vehicle is on the road. The following are Caterpillar recommendations for trip preparation that are sure to bring improved fuel efciency. Check Tire Pressure Improperly inated tires can drastically reduce fuel efciency as well as diminish the life expectancy of the tires. Limit Warm - Up Time: Excessive idling wastes fuel, adds contaminates to the oil, and adds carbons to the combustion chamber of your engine. Allow the engine to warm up during the normal walk-around inspection. The engine will approach operating temperature while driving at low rpm and low power as you begin your trip. Avoid Rapid Starts: Rapid starts burn excessive fuel because the engine is ramping to a high rpm. Instead, utilize the progressive shifting technique (see page 245).
Driving Tips
Keep Vehicle Speed Down: Fuel efciency drops by 0.10 mpg for every 1 mph over 55 mph. Cruise in Top Gear: For maximum fuel efciency, utilize the following shift parameters: 1. Operate highest gear possible/do not run one gear down 2. Keep the engine below 1500 rpm 3. Downshift around 1100 rpm 4. Use progressive shifting techniques -Upshift at 1400-1500 rpm in upper gears -Upshift at 1100-1300 rpm in lower gears Use Cruise Control Whenever Possible: Using cruise control helps maintain average speed and good fuel efciency. Avoid Downshifting too Early When Climbing Grades Caterpillar engines allow you to lug the engine (i.e. operate at 1000-1200 rpm), as long as the engine maintains road speed while climbing a grade in the 1000-1200 rpm range. In this situation, there is no need to downshift. Do Not Run with Fan On Unless Required The fan draws horsepower and reduces fuel efciency. Under normal operating conditions, leave the fan switch in the automatic mode while driving, which allows the fan to activate only when needed. Stay Alert to Changing Road Conditions Anticipate possible slowdowns and stops, and coast in gear to improve overall fuel efciency. Eliminate Idle Time Caterpillar engines with ACERT Technology do not require long cool-down periods. Therefore, do not idle for long periods of time. -If the vehicle is to parked for more than 5 minutes, shut it down -If idling for heating or cooling, idle between 800-1000 rpm Please note that a reduction in idle time from 50% to 25% can improve mpg by 2% to 4% As another reference, refer to the brochure Driving Tips for Power and Performance (lit.# LEHT4661).
