Starting and
Operating
Starting the Diesel
Engine
The diesel engine starts differently
than a gasoline engine. The vehicle
will only start in the P (Park) or the
N (Neutral) position.
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). To restart the engine
when the vehicle is already moving,
use N (Neutral) only.
Notice: Do not try to shift to
P (Park) if the vehicle is moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when the vehicle is stopped.
