Default heat management

Okay - I'm a rookie - can someone shed some light on the heat management modes I keep reading about.
Thanks,
Jack

A four phase system to lower engine temp under extreme conditions. This system will reduce idle speed, richen the AFR, advance spark timing and randomly interupt injector pulses. Check your owner's manual for a complete breakdown of the phases.[>:]

I was talking about it one day with a couple of my buddies but no one knew what the heck I was talking about. I had no idea this is evidently a new feature on the '06s.

I think it's been around for 2 or 3 years.

I've had my '06 go into heat management at least three times and it has acted exactly how it's advertised.
