If the engine fails to start:
¾ After the glow plugs have heated up, keep
turning the starter motor until the engine
runs at idling speed. Depending on the
vehicle, temperature and altitude, this may
take more than 1 minute.
If the engine stalls, the "Do not start the en-
gine" symbol (12) will appear.
¾ Always leave the ignition switched on until
the symbol goes out (between 15 and 50
seconds depending on the oil temperature).
¾ Then try to restart.
Leave a break of at least 1 minute between
each engine start to protect the battery. If the
engine still does not start at the third attempt,
see: Malfunctions, Causes and Remedies.
The charging and engine oil pressure symbols
must go out as soon as the engine is running
smoothly.
The engine speed is controlled automatically,
depending on the load on the engine.
NOTE
Do not allow the engine to warm up at idling
speed. When under load, drive the truck at
a brisk speed. The engine will quickly reach
normal operating temperature.
