Kick down mechanism
(if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
kick down mechanism in the
accelerator pedal, it prevents you
from driving at full throttle unin-
tentionally by making the driver
require increased effort to
depress the accelerator pedal.
However, if you depress the pedal
more than approximately 80%, the
vehicle can be at full throttle and
the accelerator pedal will be easi-
er to depress. This is not a mal-
function but a normal condition.
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
shift the transmission into Neutral.
Keep the clutch pedal and brake
pedal depressed while turning the
ignition switch to the start position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4. If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to the
START position and hold it there
until the engine starts (a maximum
of 10 seconds), then release the
key.
