Driving and Operating
to the floor and holding it there
as you press the ENGINE
START/STOP button, for up to a
maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each
try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the button, and
the accelerator. If the vehicle
starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing. This
clears the extra gasoline from
the engine. Do not race the
engine immediately after starting
it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Diesel Engine Starting Procedure
The diesel engine starts differently
than a gasoline engine.
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN.
If the Wait-To-Start light is
illuminated, wait until this light
goes off to start the vehicle.
2. Then turn the ignition key to
START. When the engine starts,
let go of the key.
The engine has a fast warm-up
glow plug system. The
wait-to-start light will illuminate
for a much shorter time than
most diesel engines, due to the
rapid heating of the glow plug
system.
{
Caution
If the wait-to-start light stays on
after starting the vehicle, the
vehicle may not run properly.
Have the vehicle serviced
right away.
3. If the engine does not start after
15 seconds of cranking, turn the
ignition key to LOCK/OFF. Wait
one minute for the cranking
motor to cool, then try the same
steps again.
If you are trying to start the engine
after you have run out of fuel, follow
the steps in
Running Out of Fuel
(Diesel) on page 9-60
.
When the engine is cold, let it run
for a few minutes before driving.
This lets oil pressure build up. The
engine will sound louder when
it's cold.
Cold Weather Starting (Diesel
Engine)
Use the recommended engine oil
when the outside temperature drops
below freezing. See
Engine Oil on
page 10-11
. When the outside
temperature drops below
–
18°C (0°
F), use of the engine heater is
recommended.
See
Fuel for Diesel Engines on
page 9-53
for information on what
fuel to use in cold weather.
