STARTING AND DRIVING
COLD-WEATHER OPERATION
DANGER
Do NOT, under any circumstances, use
starting fluid (ether) on an engine
equipped with an inlet manifold air heater
element. An explosion can occur.
Cold-Weather Starting Tips
• Save the batteries. Do not overtax the
batteries by cranking the starter for more
than 30 seconds without interruption.
Allow about two minutes between
attempts at starting the vehicle; this time
allows the starter to cool and the
batteries to re-energize.
NOTE
Always make sure that the battery is fully
charged in cold weather.
• Use the correct grade of oil for the
prevailing winter temperature.
• Drain the fuel tanks and filters regularly
to prevent water accumulation in the fuel
system. This accumulation can freeze in
fuel tanks, fuel lines, and filters.
WARNING
Do NOT — under any circumstances —
add gasoline, alcohol, used oil, or
additives with metallic particles to the fuel.
• Fuel can gel and clog filters and small
passages. If this issue occurs mix a
small percentage of No. 1D fuel
(kerosene) with Ultra-Low Sulfur (15
ppm) No. 2D (diesel) fuel.
NOTE
Adding kerosene is NOT recommended
for general use because both performance
and fuel economy is reduced.
Winterfronts
Engine Block Heaters
An engine block heater works by heating
the coolant surrounding the combustion
chambers. Engine heaters are
recommended to help combat the
extreme demands of cold weather
operating conditions. When the
temperature drops, the engine heater
can be plugged in overnight. The
location of the engine heater power
receptacle varies according to vehicle
design.
