A set of remote switches ( 14, 16 ) located outside the cab of a truck enables service personnel to crank, accelerate, decelerate, and shut off the truck's engine without having to enter the cab. The set of switches are interlocked with controls ( 12, 13 ) inside the occupant compartment, including the ignition switch ( 12 ) that is used to crank the engine from inside the cab, via an engine control system ( 11 ) that uses the state of a switch that senses locking/unlocking of the cab on the chassis engine control system ( 11 ) to select either the remote switches or the occupant compartment controls to the exclusion of the other for controlling engine running once the engine has been cranked and started.
