WARNING! (Continued)
start from another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow the procedure carefully. Refer to
“Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” for further information.
Extreme Cold Weather (below −20°F
or −29°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To Start
If the engine fails to start after you have followed
the
“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold
Weather” procedures, it may be flooded. Push
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than
15 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel
in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition
key in the ON position, release the accelerator
pedal and repeat the “Normal Starting” proce-
dure.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into
the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank the engine for more than 15 seconds
at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
After Starting
The idle speed will automatically decrease as
the engine warms up.
Normal Starting – Diesel Engine
1. Apply the brake, press the clutch pedal to
the floor, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and turn the ignition key to the ON position.
NOTE:
The engine will not start unless the clutch
pedal is pressed to the floor.
2. Watch the “Wait To Start Light.” It will glow
for two to 10 seconds or more, depending on
engine temperature. When the “Wait To Start
Light” turns off, the engine is ready to start.
3. Do not press the accelerator. Turn the igni-
tion key to the START position and hold it in this
position until the engine starts.
CAUTION!
•
Under normal conditions, do not operate
the starter for longer than 15 seconds at
one time. At temperatures below –5°F
(215°C), you may operate the starter for up
to 30 seconds at one time. Longer periods
of operation may result in starter or battery
damage. If the engine does not start at
once, repeat the procedures under “Nor-
mal Starting – Diesel Engine”.
