Tips to Remember When Starting
Vehicle in Cold Weather
In cold weather, fast engine starting helps
relieve the loads on the electrical system
and cranking motor. Using the special cold
starting equipment will help starting.
If you follow a few simple guidelines, you
will extend the service life of your engine:
• Keep the electrical system in top
condition.
• Use the best quality fuel of the
recommended grade.
• Use recommended engine
lubricating oil.
• For manual transmissions and
auxiliary transmissions, leave the
transmission in neutral and allow
the transmission lubricating oil to
warm up (approximately 3-5
minutes) before operating vehicle.
Engine Block Heater (Optional)
To preheat the engine before starting, plug
the optional engine block heater into a
properly grounded AC electrical source. Do
not start the engine with the heater
plugged in.
WARNING
Engine block heaters can cause fires
which may result in death, injury
and/or property damage if not properly
maintained and operated. Regularly in-
spect the engine block heater wiring
and connector for damaged or frayed
wires. Do not use the heater if there
are any signs of problems. Contact
your authorized dealer or the manufac-
turer of the heater if you are in need of
repairs or information.
CAUTION
Always unplug heater before starting
the engine. Damage to the cooling
system could occur if the heater is not
turned OFF (unplugged).
Depending on engine make, when the
temperature falls below -10°F (-24°C), the
block heater is required.
Engine, Under Hood Air Intake
This switch opens a door in the engine air
filter housing so that the air is taken from
under the hood instead of outside air. This
switch can be useful when starting the
vehicle in cold weather conditions.
CAUTION
Only operate the under hood intake air
switch when outside temperatures are
below 32° F (0° C). Engaging the un-
der hood air intake while temperatures
are above freezing may result in en-
gine damage.
Engine Warm Up
The purpose of engine warm-up is to allow
oil film to be established between pistons
and liners, shafts and bearings while your
engine gradually reaches operating
temperature.
