Turbo Timer Feature
The optional Turbo Timer feature allows vehicles with turbocharged engines to remain running after the
ignition key is removed, for proper cool-down of the turbocharger. The Turbo Timer feature requires
connection to the vehicle’s parking brake wire and is compatible with most gasoline powered engines, and
diesel engines where a glow plug connection is not required.
To activate the Turbo Timer feature:
1. Leave the engine running after parking the vehicle.
2. Set the vehicle’s parking brake.
· The Turbo Timer will begin a two-minute run cycle to allow the turbocharger to cool down.
3. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle without pressing the brake.
To deactivate the Turbo Timer feature:
1. Turn On the ignition.
2. Press the brake pedal.
· The Turbo Timer countdown will automatically stop and the engine will shutdown.
WARNING: the Turbo Timer feature is not intended for use inside garages or other non-ventilated areas.
Make sure to deactivate the Turbo Timer feature when parking in such areas.
