(2) Pre-heating Procedures
As an engine starting aid, pre-heating is required in a cold
engine starting.
The type with QOS system:
This pre-heating uses “QOS,” a quick pre-heating system which
automatically controls pre-heating time utilizing coolant
temperature to conduct the irreducible minimum of pre-heating.
1) Turn the key to the DRIVE position, and the glow plug built in
the engine will grow red-hot to pre-heat the engine. At this time
the pre-heating indicator lamp on the meterboard is actuated.
2) When the pre-heating indicator lamp goes out, try starting the
engine at once.
