Starting and Stopping the Engine
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING
If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes. Carbon
monoxide is present in exhaust fumes.
Take precautions to avoid its dangerous
effects.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
•
Open the windows at least 1.0 in
(2.5 cm).
•
Set your climate control to outside air.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Cold or Hot Engine
1.
Switch the ignition on and wait until
the glow plug indicator goes off.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or brake pedal
(automatic transmission).
3. Start the engine.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: Releasing the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or brake pedal (automatic
transmission) while the engine is starting
will stop the engine cranking and return to
ignition on.
Note: When the temperature is below 5°F
(-15°C), 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 does not
allow you to try again until a period of time
has elapsed, for example 30 minutes.
Failure to Start
If the engine does not crank when the
clutch pedal has been fully depressed and
the ignition key is turned to position III.
1.
Fully depress the clutch and brake
pedals.
2. Turn the key to position III until the
engine starts.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissions
reduction system on your vehicle. It filters
harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the
exhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard.
Note: Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
