3 Starting the engine when vehicle has
been parked over an extended period
When a vehicle sits idle over an extended period of
time, its engine becomes oil starved and should be
cranked using the following method to distribute oil
throughout the engine:
CAUTION
• For safety, apply the parking brake fully and
chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
• Cranking the engine as described here is
essential for protection of the turbocharger.
1. Pull the parking brake lever or knob to fully
apply the parking brake.
2. Manual transmission vehicle:
Place the gearshift lever in the neutral position.
On automatic transmission vehicle other than
FM65F, place the range selector lever in the “P”
position.
On FM65F, place the range selector lever in the
“N” position.
3. Without pressing the accelerator pedal, turn the
starter switch to the “S” position and crank the
engine for about 15 seconds.
If the engine starts, release the starter key and
do not depress the accelerator pedal for roughly
15 seconds.
