Engine room / engine room panel:engine start / stop a. Ignition lock In the engine room the engine should be started and stopped using the ignition lock on the engine room panel. Stopping procedure 1. Turn ignition key from position 1 position 0 Engine stops 2. Switch off battery main switch b. Stop button on engine room panel In addition to the ignition lock, which should normally be used to stop the engine, the “Stop” button in the engine room panel offers a further way of stopping. For this the button should be pressed until the engine has come to a complete standstill.
This leads to the informal entry “External stop – recording” in the EDC fault memory, but this has no effect on operation of the engine. Before you switch off the voltage supply at the battery main switch ensure, if you are using the “Stop” button, that the ignition lock is switched off first too (position 1 0). If this is not done, several entries may be made in the EDC fault memory and the engine speed may be reduced as a result. Caution: In general switching off the voltage supply to the EDC engine control system using the battery main switch is to avoided if the ignition is on. 94
