Diesel engines
Preheating System
On the Diesel engines, preheating takes
place automatically after opening and
closing the driver’s door. For this reason it
may happen that the pilot light controlled
by the cooling fluid temperature does not
go on when the ignition is turned on, even
though the engine is cold. See the "Warn-
ing lamps" chapter. If the engine does not
start after the first time the driver’s door
is opened and closed, the preheating
process will not be repeated even thought
the door is opened and closed again.
Starting with cold engine
•
Turn the ignition key to position 2 of the
steering and starting lock; the preheat
light comes on. The light will go out when
the correct
preheat temperature is
reached (see the "Warning lamps" chap-
ter).
During the preheating stage all other
electrical circuits should be off to pre-
vent unnecessary drain on the bat-
tery.
•
As soon as the preheat light goes off,
start the engine immediately.
During starting do not press on the accel-
erator pedal.
If the ignition is not normal, continue
operating the starting motor for a few sec-
onds (maximum 30 seconds) until the
engine turns by itself.
If the engine does not start, carry out the
preheat process again and start according
to the method described.
If, despite this, the engine does not start
it is possible that the fuse of the Diesel
preheat system has blown. See the
"Fuses" chapter.
Starting the engine at operating
temperature
If the preheat control light does not go on
the engine may be immediately started.
Do not press the accelerator pedal.
