Operation
9.
To terminate ACC (Accessory) operation, rotate the key
clockwise to the OFF position.
After the Engine Starts
•
Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
•
Make sure the engine oil pressure is indicated on the gauge
within 20 seconds after starting.
•
Operate the engine for three to five minutes before operating
at full power.
•
Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes.
Excessive idling
reduces fuel economy, and may decrease oil life.
•
When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed
(RPM) slowly to make sure adequate lubrication is available
to the bearings.
Engine Shutdown
Idle the engine for three to five minutes before shutting down.
This few minutes of idling allows the lubricating oil and water
to carry heat away from components heat-soaked by hot
combustion/exhaust gasses.
The larger the engine, the greater the need for this idling period.
This will help avoid damage to turbocharger seals or like features
of an engine which, after shut down, will no longer be cooled by
the circulation of oil and coolant.
1.
Place the transmission in the neutral position.
2.
Apply the parking brake.
3.
Turn off the headlights and all accessories.
4.
Idle a hot engine for 2 to 5 minutes to allow the
turbocharger to cool.
5.
Rotate the key counterclockwise to the OFF position,
and remove key from the ignition switch.
Emergency Starting
WARNING
The following procedures must be performed
exactly as outlined, otherwise a fire or a battery
explosion could result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
To
prevent
damage
to
vehicle
electronic
components, voltage supplied to a vehicle’s
electrical system must never exceed 16.0 volts.
This voltage must not be exceeded when the
ignition switch is in the OFF, ACC, or IGN
position, or during engine cranking. The most
reliable means for jump starting a vehicle is
to connect charged 12–volt batteries so as to
provide controlled voltage. Never use an electric
welder.
