Cold Start Procedure

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the Wait To Start

light

appears in the cluster, wait for the light to turn off before starting.

• In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be beneficial to cycle the

manifold heaters twice before attempting to start the engine. This can be
accomplished by turning the ignition OFF for at least five seconds and then
back ON after the “Wait To Start Light” has turned off, but before the engine is
started. However, excessive cycling of the manifold heaters will result in
damage to the heater elements or reduced battery voltage.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further details.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the
110–115 volt electrical cord could cause electrocution.
