keeps the car running after you take the key off, for a period of time to help cool down the turbo properly, that way the coolant and oil doesnt sit in the turbo boiling, and also the metals don't cool so fast that they crack. Mine ranges anywhere from 0-6min depending on how you drive. It can sense how hard the car is driven
