Kenworth Auto Start Stop 680 Next-Gen

Smart idle systems are a great resource for truck drivers. I love the automatic idle systems when I need to stop for the night. Kenworth's auto start/stop system is not the best at telling you how it works though, so we made this video to help you better understand why it is doing what it is doing.

The newer systems have the control panel in the sleeper integrated with the espar heater.

Great video and a big help, thank you 😊

[@kaddywilliams3984]

How long does the a/c last on auto start/stop, how many hours can it run ?

[@critter8117]

Will the electronic APU boot when you operate that switch? Truck has been sitting for 2 weeks and it's totally dead.

My heater in the sleeper bunk don’t come on it’s still blowing out cold air and I have it on 84. Why is that?

Trying to find your other video with the kw autostart controller can you comment the link to it please

[@juanpolo7mg]

I got a question….my outlet not working

[@74bancroft]

The horn still comes on without the door being open.
My next gen is a pile of nonsense.
It doesn't look at the load capacity if it drops .Oh well , you'll need a jump start after your 10-hour break. And yes ,the people at kw don't know crap. Just build it and get it on the road.
I've had this truck almost 2 years, and I have to say that it's a pile of rubbish. ( but, it's still better than freightliner ) . It shouldn't not all do with temperature, but also when the battery load drops.
Anyway, thanks for the video directions on how to.

[@elijahmoore2000]

I just had the same problem with the horn going off. Do you know a way to prevent it or stop the horn when it does go off

[@MgambireBabako]

The way it works for me is when the engine is off doors are shut and locked. I’m assuming if they’re unlocked the engine still considers them open I could be wrong.

[@d_the_elitish2911]

What is that switch is missing from the control panel?

[@DDTruckDriver]

Then your truck was not built with that feature.

[@mohamudmursal1670]

What can cause of my truck didn’t auto start on cool temperature under 30 degrees and my batteries went dead any idea what can cause please

[@themaccabees5628]

Your battery right below your voltage reading in the top left corner you read a percentage that percentage must be under 50% for auto start to come on I had the same issue I hate these new model trucks

@@themaccabees5628 when you went to bed for auto start the engine has to start under 50% battery fuel tank gets cold or the filter gets cold

Your trucks are bad so far,in my experience, norhing but issues and going to dealership to try and fix
