Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2019
- Reducing idle is a concern through every fleet. Utilizing an APU like ParkSmart helps reduce total idle. This quick video walks you through how to turn your system on, adjust the temperature, and tips of what to watch out for.
We want the damn thing to keep running!
Push the yellow in pop the red
Keep in neutral
Raise the idle And enjoy
No trailer no problem
Chuck the axle
:) Every system had an over ride
Got it thanks! straight to the point
You want to leave interior comfort on or you won't be able to use most of your features inside the cab,like your radio and your outlets
Thank you
Yeah this video is put out by a trucking company. All they give a fuck about is saving fuel; fuck the driver he can sit in the dark for his whole 10 for all they care.
False information. Interior comfort only controls the HVAC, you want to have optimized idle turned on to charge the batteries when needed. Interior comfort is not needed at all if you have an apu.
@@HobbesWiilTakeGoodCareOfYou I drive a 2020 Cascadia and that's how my truck works. Don't always assume you know how every truck is setup
Mine doesn't even show interior comfort as an option
What needs to be closed? I tried replaying over and over, but I can't understand what you say after "make sure it's in neutral", maybe hoses, what hoses?
Make sure that your hood is closed😁
Ah okay, thanks 😃
My apu stays on when I start my truck is this normal? Will it turn off if in get on the road? Thanks for your time.
Thank you!! I really needed that. Thxs again.
how can you know if your truck has the park smart feature im a new company driver and unsure if it has it or just optimized idle
Hello Jimi! Please get in touch with your fleet leader about this, they'll likely be able to provide you insight.
Do you key the keys in the ignition?
Good stuff.. Thank you
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Good Video here
how do l adjust idle mode 2016 cascadia
Your confusing you should re record saying weather to keep comfort interior on or off you say to keep off for it to work ?
ParkSmart is a stand-alone heating and cooling system so you are not using the truck's a/c or heat while in the bunk. If the truck is just equipped with Optimized Idle, then yes you have to have Interior Comfort Mode on. The ParkSmart system is meant to minimize engine idle time. With Interior Comfort Mode on, it monitors interior temperature and in the summer, the truck will never be able to meet the demand which will cause the engine to start and stop more frequently. With Interior Comfort Mode off, Optimized Idle still monitors the system but will only start and stop the engine when ParkSmart draws down the 4 separate batteries that it runs off of. Hope this helps!
Do we turn the truck of or leave it on?
Have you figure that out?
Once you select optimized idle, the truck will take over the idle control of the engine. Do not turn the key off. Just leave it alone until you want to turn opti-idle off again and start driving. Once engaged, opti-idle will stop the engine and remain in a stand by mode until it senses the Park Smart electric HVAC system has drained the system batteries enough for them to require recharging. The system will then start the truck’s engine and idle it for as long as it takes to recharge the batteries and then shut down again.
Interior comfort must be turned on for the engine to turn on to cool the sleeper. Otherwise the driver will be no better off than a dog locked in a car with the windows up.
Hello Mattew - thank you for your comment. ParkSmart is a stand-alone heating and cooling system so you are not using the truck's a/c or heat while in the bunk.

@@VerihaTrucking this helped me greatly i was unsure how to use it to spend my home time and keep the fridge on so keep it off when im home so the fridge stays on but it doesnt idle allday correct?
@@jimi3540 yes, comfort mode “off” is purely to allow the truck to start and stop on its own so as to maintain the batteries in the truck. Whether just an Option-Idle truck or if it has park smart.
How do you determine what is a good temperature, no matter what temperature I have it set to using the knob it's freezing! LOL.
No adjust idle in my cascadia settings.😥
Oh no! We're sorry to hear you're having trouble. Perhaps reach out to your maintenance team to see if your truck is specked to include the adjust idle settings.
Wow so cool
how is this better than just idling?
Hello Jason - thank you for your comment. A truck at normal idle burns roughly 1.5 gallons of fuel per hour. So there is 2 parts to this idle management system. Opti Idle alone monitors battery voltage, oil temperature and Interior Comfort. Opti Idle in conjunction with ParkSmart is a battery ran a/c system.
So long story short, idling a truck doesn't generate enough cylinder temperature, which in turn doesn't cleanly burn the fuel which causes excessive soot. Soot gets trapped in the aftertreatment (Diesel Particulate Filters) system causing all kinds of issues!
@@VerihaTrucking isn't that bad for the starter turning on and off all night?
@@jasonb.3874 At max, it would only be 3 start-ups. We have been running this system for years and can honestly say our starter failure rate is very low, 2% maybe.
@@VerihaTrucking I have opti-idle and the truck turns on and off multiple times is it malfunctioning or is parksmart something totally different?
@@jasonb.3874 I don't want to lead you down the wrong path; it might be time to work with a local dealership or repair facility for more information. We created this video for our current VIPs and specific to our equipment specs.
Is this an extra option or does this come with the 23 Cascadia stock. As I did everything you said ok the dash then turn my bunk dials and nothing at all.
Leave key in on position as well?
All my dash lights stay on too. No fan blowing or cool air.
Hey Karl! These are options not standard equipment.
Assuming your truck is equipped with optimized idle feature. do this.
doors must be closed and locked. truck in natural. interior comfort is on. fan is on 3 or 4 clicks up. AC in the desired temperature ( front and back should be set to same positions)
wait 5 to 10 minutes. if it’s not working I’d take it to a shop.
if you miss one step it may not work. good luck
@@Izm100 Interior comfort?
@@karlrichards1611
There is an option to turn interior comfort on or off when setting up the optimized idle.
If you don’t see this feature then maybe your truck doesn’t have one.
@@Izm100 ya I don't think I have. As on opt idle I just have hood latched , neutral gear and park brake set
what's up with the aggravating "music" in the background. I had t stop your video because of that aggravating music in the background
