Stop Engine Warning
Warning: When the red STOP engine lamp illuminates, the driver must immediately move the vehicle to a safe location at the side of the road to prevent causing a hazardous situation that could cause bodily injury, property damage, or severe damage to the engine.
The stop engine warning indicator illuminates when the protection system available for the engine has been activated. The engine ECU will derate the engine, allowing it to run, but at lower rpm and slower vehicle speed. The vehicle may be driven to a safe location.
Notice: Because operating the engine when the stop engine indicator is illuminated can lead to severe engine damage, the driver must move the vehicle to a safe location as quickly as possible.
If the engine is shut down while the vehicle is in service, a single restart attempt may be performed. Depending on the nature of the fault condition, a cool-down period may be required before restarting. If, upon restarting, the fault condition still exists the indicator will come on and the engine should be shut down. At this point, the vehicle is unsafe to drive and should be transported to an authorized Freightliner service facility.
Important: Do not attempt to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving. Bring the vehicle to a safe stop and restart the engine with the vehicle stopped.
