4. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a third time to
return the ignition to the OFF position.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Starting Procedure —
Engine Manifold Air Temperature 0° F
To 66° F (–18° C to 19° C)
NOTE:
The temperature displayed in the instrument cluster
does not necessarily reflect the engine manifold air
temperature. Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for further
information. When engine temperatures fall below
66°F (19°C) the "Wait To Start" telltale will remain on
indicating the intake air heater system is active.
Follow the steps in the "Normal Starting" procedure
except:
1. Pushing the ENGINE START/STOP button with the
driver's foot on the brake will move the ignition from
OFF or ACC to RUN, and will illuminate the "Wait To
Start" telltale. The engine will not immediately
crank, this is normal operation.
2. The "Wait To Start" telltale will remain on for a
period of time that varies depending on the engine
temperature.
3. While the "Wait to Start" telltale is on, the instru-
ment cluster will additionally display a gauge or bar
whose initial length represents the full "Wait to
Start" time period. Its length will decrease until it
disappears when the "Wait to Start" time has
elapsed.
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.
4. After the engine "Wait To Start" telltale goes off, the
engine will automatically crank.
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.
5. After engine start-up, check to see that there is oil
pressure.
6. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
•
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry Tur-
bocharger at low coolant temperatures to improve
engine warm-up.
•
The engine will not automatically crank after the
engine "Wait To Start" telltale goes off if a door or
the hood is ajar.
STARTING AND OPERATING
•
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 turn-
ing the ignition switch to the OFF position for at
least 5 seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps
1 through 7 of "Keyless Enter-N-Go Starting Proce-
dure – Engine Manifold Air Temperature Below
66° F (19° C)."
EXTREME COLD WEATHER
The Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine is equipped with
several features designed to assist cold weather start-
ing and operation:
•
The engine block heater is a resistance heater
installed in the water jacket of the engine just above
and behind the oil filter. It requires a 110–115 Volt
AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed
option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are
available from an authorized Mopar® dealer.
•
A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housings aid
in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in
thermostat.
•
A intake air heater system both improves engine
starting and reduces the amount of white smoke
generated by a warming engine.
