Cold Weather Starting
WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, for example
ether, in the air intake system (see
air filter decal). Such fluid could
cause immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury.
Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol
or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This
practice creates a serious fire hazard
and causes engine performance problems.
We recommend using the engine block
heater for starting when the ambient
temperature is at or below-9°F (-23°C)
See
Engine Block Heater (page 90).
When operating in cold weather, you can
use Motorcraft® cetane improvers or
non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from
a reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10
seconds as starter damage may occur. If
the engine fails to start, turn the key to the
off position and wait 30 seconds before
trying again.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold
weather starting strategy that prevents
severe engine damage by assisting in
engine lubrication warm-up. In extremely
cold ambient temperatures, this strategy
activates and prevents the accelerator
pedal use for 30 seconds after starting
your vehicle. A message appears in the
information display as your vehicle warms
up. By not allowing the accelerator pedal
use, the engine oil can properly lubricate
the bearings preventing engine damage
due to lack of proper lubrication. After the
30-second warm-up period, the
accelerator pedal is operational again and
a message appears informing you that your
vehicle is ok to drive.
When starting the engine in extremely cold
temperatures, for example -15°F (-26°C),
we recommend you allow the engine to
idle for several minutes before driving your
vehicle.
Illuminates when you switch the
ignition on as part of the
pre-starting system.
1. Turn the key to the on position without
turning the key to the start position. Do
not start the engine until the wait to
start indicator turns off.
2. When the wait to start indicator turns
off, turn the key to the start position
and release the key as soon as the
engine starts. After starting the engine,
the glow plugs may remain on for a
period. If you do not start the engine
before the glow plug activation time
ends, you need to reset the glow plugs
by turning the key to the off position.
3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle
for about 15 seconds. This is to protect
the engine. Do not increase engine
speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to five
minutes before shutting it down. The larger
the engine, the greater the need is for this
idling period.
Note: Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes.
Excessive idling reduces fuel economy.
