Fuel Filter and Maintenance
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel filter to protect the engine from water and other
c ontaminants that can be found in diesel fuel. Water should be drained from the fuel filter
when the Driver Information Center displays WATER IN FUEL CONTACT SERVICE. If
water is not drained, there is a chance this water could enter the fuel injectors and result in
corrosion. Fuel filter cartridges must be replaced every 30,000 miles or as indicated on the
Driver Information Center.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel
Use Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel (ULSF) only. The emission control
hardware in the vehicle may be damaged by using fuel with
high sulfur levels. Use only fuel that is dispensed from pumps
bearing the ULSF label. NEVER use regular unleaded gasoline
in place of diesel ULSF. Refer to your Owner Manual for infor-
mation on the use of B20 Biodiesel blends.
Engine Heater
F
The engine heater can provide easier start-
ing and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up in cold weather conditions (at or
below 0° F, -18° C). It should be plugged in
at least four hours before starting.
Using the Engine Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood. The electrical cord is
located on the passenger side of the
vehicle.
3. Remove the electrical cord cap and
plug the cord into a grounded 110-volt
AC outlet.
4. Before starting the engine, unplug and store the cord properly to keep it away from
moving engine parts.
