Glow duration control

Glow duration control

Glow duration control comprises four different sub-functions:

-	Preheating

-	Starting preparation heating

-	Starting glow

-

Afterglow

Preheating

Depending on the temperature of the engine coolant, preheating starts when the ignition is turned to ON. At the same time, information that preheating is active is sent on the P-bus and read by the main instrument unit. This turns on the preheating indicator lamp. Preheating depends on the temperature of the engine coolant, see table.

Temperature °C (°F)	Duration
+5 (+41.0)	inactive
-10 (+14.0)	5 seconds
-20 (-4.0)	10 seconds

If the engine speed exceeds 42 rpm before the time expires, preheating will be deactivated.

Starting preparation heating

Starting preparation heating starts after preheating if the following conditions are met:

-	Preheating duration longer than 0 seconds

-	Preheating time has expired

Starting preparation heating is shut off when the engine speed exceeds 42 rpm or after 30 seconds.

Starting glow

Starting glow takes place each time the engine is started (over 42 rpm) if the engine coolant temperature is below 25°C (77°F). The function is deactivated if any of the following parameters are fulfilled:

-	Starting glow duration of 2 minutes has expired

-	Engine coolant temperature exceeds 25°C (77°F)

-	Engine speed exceeds 750 rpm (engine running)

Afterglow

Afterglow starts when the engine speed exceeds 750 rpm and is active as follows:

Engine coolant temperature °C (°F)	Duration
17 (62.6)	3 minutes
20 (68.0)	40 seconds
40 (104.0)	40 seconds
41 (105.8)	inactive

Afterglow is temporarily shut off if the engine speed exceeds 2500 rpm or if the injected fuel quantity corresponds to the value in the table.

Engine coolant temperature °C (°F)	Fuel quantity (mg/combustion)
40 (104,0)	37
30 (86,0)	40
10 (50,0)	45
-10 (14,0)	55
-20 (-4,0)	65
-30 (-22,0)	70

The period of afterglow continues even if it is interrupted by one of the above conditions.
