Driving and Operating 9-27
Cold Weather Operation
Follow the instructions listed
previously under the heading
“ What Fuel to Use. ”
Notice: Never use home heating
oil or gasoline in the vehicle.
They can cause engine damage
not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
In cold weather, the fuel filter could
become clogged by wax naturally
present in the fuel. To unclog it,
move the vehicle to a warm garage
area and allow the filter to warm up
to between 0°C (32°F) and 10°C
(50°F). You will not need to replace
the filter. Additional information on
the fuel filter follows.
Use of biodiesel blends greater than
B5 (5% blend) should be avoided in
cold temperatures.
Water in Fuel
{
WARNING
Diesel fuel containing water is still
flammable. You could be burned.
If you ever try to drain water from
the fuel, keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away from the
mixture.
Notice: If there is water in the
diesel fuel and the weather is
warm or humid, fungus and
bacteria can grow in the fuel.
They can damage the fuel system
and fuel operated heater (FOH)
(if equipped). A diesel fuel biocide
can be used to sterilize the fuel
system. However, the fuel system
may still need to be cleaned.
Your dealer can advise you of the
appropriate solution.
If the fuel tank needs to be
purged to remove water, see your
dealer or a qualified technician.
Improper purging can damage the
fuel system and block the FOH.
Sometimes, water can be pumped
into the fuel tank along with the
diesel fuel. This can happen if a
service station does not regularly
inspect and clean its fuel tanks, or if
it gets contaminated fuel from its
suppliers.
If this happens, a WATER IN FUEL
SERVICE REQUIRED message will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The water must be
drained.
