NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the fuel injection system operates. Before adding
electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don't, your
engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed,
see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
See "Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index.
Driving Through Deep Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine's air intake and badly
damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody of your vehicle. If you can't avoid
deep puddles or standing water, drive through them very slowly.
Driving In Snow (Diesel Engines)
When driving in a heavy snowstorm or in swirling snow with a diesel
engine, snow can get into the air intake system. If you keep driving in these
conditions the air cleaner may get plugged, causing black smoke and loss of
power. In an emergency, if the air cleaner gets plugged with snow, you can
remove the air cleaner. Then, drive to a place of safety as soon as possible
and put the air cleaner back on.
Starting Your Diesel Engine
Your diesel engine starts differently than a gasoline engine.
1. Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine
won't start in any other position
-
that's a safety feature. To restart
when you're already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
