CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously
crank the engine for more than 25 seconds at a time.

After Starting
The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine
warms up.
Turbocharger “Cool Down” — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to cool
the turbocharger after the engine is shut off. Depending
on the type of driving and the amount of cargo, the pump
will run for up to 10 minutes after the engine has been
shut off to circulate coolant through the turbocharger.
Although the pump is rubber-mounted for quiet opera-
tion, it is normal to hear it running during this time.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine and permits
quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet
with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater is required for 1.4L Turbo engine
below -20°F (-29°C) and for the 2.4L engine below -29°F
(-34°C). It is recommended for the 2.0L engine and 2.4L
engine below -20°F (-29°C).
The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood,
behind to the driver’s side headlamp. Follow the steps
below to properly use the engine block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (behind the driv-
er’s side headlamp).
2. Undo the Velcro strap that secures the heater cord in
place.
