Temperature 0°F To 66°F (–18°C to 19°C)
NOTE: The temperature displayed in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC) does not necessarily
reflect the engine manifold air temperature. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When engine temperatures fall below 66°F (19°C)
the “Wait To Start Light” will remain on indicating the
intake manifold heater system is active.
Follow the steps in the “Normal Starting” procedure
except:
1. The “Wait To Start” telltale will remain on for a period of
time that varies depending on the engine temperature.
2. While the ЉWait To Start” telltale is on, the EVIC will
additionally display a gauge or bar whose initial
length represents the full ЉWait To StartЉ time period.
Its length will decrease until it disappears when the
Љ
Wait To StartЉ time has elapsed.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START engine before you drain the water from
the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Sepa-
rator Filter” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
