STARTING AND OPERATING 133
3. After the “Wait To Start” telltale goes off, place
the ignition switch in the START position.
Do not press the accelerator during starting.
4. After engine start-up, check that the Oil
Pressure Warning Light has turned off.
5. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry
Turbocharger at low coolant temperatures to
improve engine warm-up.
Automatic equipped vehicles with optional Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ – If the start button is pushed once
while in PARK with the ignition off and driver’s foot
on the brake pedal, the vehicle will automatically
crank and start after the Wait to Start time has
elapsed. If it is desired to abort the start process
before it completes, the driver’s foot should be fully
removed from the brake pedal prior to pushing the
start button again in order for the ignition to move
directly to off.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left
ON for more than two minutes after the “Wait To
Start” telltale goes out, reset the intake air
heater by turning the ignition switch to the OFF
position for at least five seconds and then back
ON. Repeat steps 1 through 5 of “Starting Proce-
dure – Engine Manifold Air Temperature 0°F To
66°F (–18°C to 19°C).”
STARTING PROCEDURE — ENGINE
M
ANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE BELOW
0°F (-18°C)
In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be
beneficial to cycle the intake air heater twice before
attempting to start the engine. This can be
accomplished by turning the ignition off for at least
5 seconds and then back to the ON/RUN position after
the “Wait To Start” telltale has turned off, but before
the engine is started. However, excessive cycling of the
intake air heater will result in damage to the heater
elements or reduced battery voltage.
NOTE:
If multiple pre-heat cycles are used before starting,
additional engine run time may be required to maintain
battery state of charge at a satisfactory level.
1. If the engine stalls after the initial start, the
ignition must be turned to the OFF position for
at least five seconds and then to the ON/RUN
position to recycle the intake air heater.
NOTE:
Excessive white smoke and poor engine perfor-
mance will result if intake air heater is not recycled.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on,
DO NOT START the engine before you drain the
water from the fuel filters to avoid engine
damage Ú page 386.
CAUTION!
Do not crank the engine for more than 25 seconds at
a time or starter motor damage may result. Turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position and wait at least
two minutes for the starter to cool before repeating
start procedure.
