STARTING AND OPERATING

FTER

TARTING

The idle speed is controlled automatically, and

it will decrease as the engine warms up.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine, and

permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect

the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC

electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire

extension cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at

least one hour to have an adequate warming

effect on the engine.
The engine block heater cord is routed under

the hood on the driver side of the vehicle. It has

a removable cap that is located near the air box.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the

drivetrain (engine, transmission, and rear axle)

in your new vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles

(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),

speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are

desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration

within the limits of local traffic laws contributes

to a good break-in. However, wide-open throttle

acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and

should be avoided.
The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle

lubricant installed at the factory are high-quality

and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and lubricant

changes should be consistent with anticipated

climate and conditions under which vehicle

operations will occur. For the recommended

viscosity and quality grades

page 291.



Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle

to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an

automatic transmission cannot be started

this way. Unburned fuel could enter the

catalytic converter and once the engine has

started, ignite and damage the converter

and vehicle.



If the vehicle has a discharged battery,

booster cables may be used to obtain a

start from a booster battery or the battery in

another vehicle. This type of start can be

dangerous if done improperly

page 218.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not

continuously crank the engine for more than

25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds

before trying again.

WARNING!

(Continued)

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block

heater cord before driving. Damage to the

110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause

electrocution.
