Water In Fuel Message
If a Water In Fuel message or indicator appears in the cluster and a chime
sounds five times, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to
prevent engine damage.
Refer to “Draining Fuel Water Separator” in this guide for draining instructions or see
your dealer.
Cold Start Procedure
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the Wait To Start light appears in
the cluster, wait for the light to turn off before starting.
In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be beneficial to cycle the
manifold heaters twice before attempting to start the engine. This can be accom-
plished by turning the ignition OFF for at least five seconds and then back ON after
the “Wait To Start Light” has turned off, but before the engine is started. However,
excessive cycling of the manifold heaters will result in damage to the heater elements
or reduced battery voltage.
Refer to the Owner's Manual Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further details.
Winter Front Usage
A winter front or cold weather cover is to be used in ambient temperatures below
32°F (0°C), especially during extended idle conditions to reduce condensation
build-up within engine crankcase. If a winter front or cold weather cover is to be used,
a percentage of the total grille opening area must be left uncovered to provide
sufficient air flow to the charge air cooler and automatic transmission oil cooler. The
percentage of opening must be increased with the increasing ambient air tempera-
ture and/or engine load. If the cooling fan can be heard cycling frequently, increase
the size of the opening in the winter front. A suitable cold weather cover is available
from your MOPAR dealer.
Engine Idling
Avoid prolonged engine idling. Long periods of idling may be harmful to your engine
because combustion chamber temperatures can drop so low that the fuel may not
burn completely.
Incomplete combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings, engine
valves, and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the crankcase,
diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.
