Starting at Schneider

I would think so. Optimized idle starts the truck automatically. I would think that it wouldn't work if the key wasn't on.
Get used to the alarm that goes off every time it cranks.

 

Wait till you hear it and get back to me.......

 

Key on, engine running

By the cruise control, bottom right of the steering wheel is a button with what looks like computer windows. That's a shortcut to opti idle. Or just scroll the menu.

Engage opti idle, let the truck snub out

In the bunk on the driver's side is the bunk heat/ac. Hit the blue button and set the desired temp.

Battery ac will run until it needs to kick on the main engine.

 

There's also a how to video in edocs

 

That opti idle would have been a deal breaker for me

 

Check youtube. Lots of videos on how to do stuff nowadays.

 

You really won't need apti idle all that much, the bunk ac dies a decent job without it.
