Restarting the Gasoline Engine While
Moving (Automatic Transmission)
If you have to restart the engine while the vehicle is
moving, you’ll first have to shift the automatic
transmission to NEUTRAL (N). This safety feature
prevents starting the engine when the transmission is in
a drive gear.
Stopping the Gasoline Engine
Let your engine idle for a few seconds before turning it
off after you have finished driving your vehicle.
If you shift to NEUTRAL (N), set the parking brake.
If you shift to PARK (P), the auto
-
apply feature will
set the parking brake.
If your vehicle has a two
-
speed axle, put the range
selector in LOW. To be sure the axle has shifted into
LOW, engage the clutch and transmission; the vehicle
may move slightly when you do this.
While your engine is idling before you turn it off, you
can make a list of any operational or handling concerns
to give to responsible maintenance personnel so they can
handle them right away.
Moisture will condense in a fuel tank that is almost
empty if the vehicle is not run for a while, even just
overnight under some conditions. So, it’s always best to
refuel your vehicle at the end of each run.
Starting Your Diesel Engine
If you have a Caterpillar diesel engine, also refer to your
Caterpillar
R
Operation & Maintenance Manual for
starting procedure.
To make starting easier in cold weather (below 32
_F or
0
_C), the proper viscosity engine oil should be used. It’s
also best to heat the engine oil first. You can do this by
using an engine coolant heater. A GM Automatic Ether
Injection System aids cold weather starting.
