138 STARTING AND OPERATING
Tip Start Feature
Place the ignition in the START mode and
release it as the starter engages. The starter
motor will automatically disengage itself once
the engine is running. If the engine fails to start,
the starter will disengage automatically in
10 seconds. If this occurs:
1. Place the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
NOTE:
A delay of the start up to five seconds is
possible under very cold conditions. The “Wait
to Start” telltale will be illuminated during the
preheat process. When the engine “Wait to
Start” telltale goes off, the engine is available to
be started.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the
battery temperature decreases to 0°F (-18°C).
For the same decrease in temperature, the
engine requires twice as much power to crank
at the same RPM. The use of battery blankets
will greatly increase starting capability at low
temperatures. Suitable battery blankets are
available from an authorized Mopar® dealer.
Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless

3. The system will automatically engage the
starter to crank the engine. If the vehicle
fails to start, the starter will disengage
