Starting A Diesel Engine - Ford Edge 2016 Owner's Manual

Starting and Stopping the Engine

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or Hot Engine
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the
engine for at least 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, you are limited to a 15-second
engine cranking time. You need to wait 60
minutes before you can crank the engine for
60 seconds again.
Before starting the engine check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: A valid passive key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.

Switch the ignition on and wait
until the glow plug indicator goes
off. For vehicles with automatic
transmission, fully depress the brake pedal.
For vehicles with manual transmission,
fully depress the clutch pedal. Start the
engine.
Note: When the temperature is below -15°C
(5°F), you may need to crank the engine for
up to 10 seconds.
Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time.
Note: After a limited number of attempts
to start your engine, the system will not
allow you to try again until a period of time
has elapsed, for example 30 minutes.
The system does not function if:
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
