STARTING AND OPERATING 119
Extended Park Starting
NOTE:
Extended Park condition occurs when the
vehicle has not been started or driven for at
least 30 days.
1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables
to the battery to ensure a full battery
charge during the crank cycle.
2. Cycle the ignition to the START mode and
release it when the engine starts.
3. If the engine fails to start within 10 to 15
seconds, cycle the ignition to the OFF
mode, wait five seconds to allow the starter
to cool, then repeat the Extended Park
Starting procedure.
4. If the engine fails to start after eight
attempts, allow the starter to cool for at
least 10 minutes, then repeat the
procedure.
If Engine Fails To Start
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automatically, and
it will decrease as the engine warms up.
Turbo Charger “Cool Down”
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump
to cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut
off. Depending on the type of driving and the
amount of cargo, the pump will run for up to
10 minutes after the engine has been shut off
to circulate coolant through the turbocharger.
Although the pump is rubber-mounted for quiet
operation, it is normal to hear it running during
this time.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
CAUTION!
Use of the recommended SAE 5W-40
Synthetic oil and adhering to the prescribed
oil change intervals is important to prevent
engine damage and ensure satisfactory
starting in cold conditions.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
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
continuously crank the engine for more than
15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds
before trying again.
