IMPORTANT
OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF
PREHEAT SYSTEM
1. When the key switch is turned to
the “ON” position, the glow plug
indicator comes on for 9 seconds
and then goes off . The engine
should be started within 3 seconds
after the glow plug indicator goes
off.
2. After the engine is started, post-
heat is performed without any indi-
cating lamp on. The post-heating
function keeps the glow plugs ac-
tivated for approx. 20 seconds af-
ter the engine is started in order to
enhance the engine combustion
performance and reduce harmful
emissions right after engine starts.
3. The preheat/post-heat function
and glow plug indicator do not op-
erate when the coolant temper-
ature is 30℃ (86
℉) or higher. In
this case, the engine can be start-
ed without the preheat operation.
4. In case extra preheating is needed,
hold the key in ( )position . Do not
preheat more than 30 seconds.
