Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Starting Procedure
Engine Manifold Air Temperature 0°F
To 66°F (–18°C to 19°C)
NOTE:
The temperature displayed in the instrument cluster
does not necessarily reflect the engine manifold air
temperature
page 78. When engine temperatures
fall below 66°F (19°C) the Wait To Start Indicator Light
will remain on indicating the intake air heater system is
active.
Follow the steps in the “Normal Starting” procedure
except:
1. Pushing the engine start button with the driver’s
foot on the brake will move the ignition from OFF or
ACC to RUN, and will illuminate the Wait To Start
Indicator Light. The engine will not immediately
crank, this is normal operation.
2. The Wait To Start Indicator Light will remain on for a
period of time that varies depending on the engine
temperature.
3. While the Wait To Start Indicator Light is on, the
instrument cluster will additionally display a gauge
or bar whose initial length represents the full "Wait
to Start" time period. Its length will decrease until it
disappears when the "Wait to Start" time has
elapsed.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain the water
from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage.
4. After the engine Wait To Start Indicator Light goes
off, the engine will automatically crank.
CAUTION!
Do not crank the engine for more than 25 seconds at
a time or starter motor damage may result. Turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position and wait at least
two minutes for the starter to cool before repeating
start procedure.
5. After engine start-up, check to see that there is oil
pressure.
6. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry Tur-
bocharger at low coolant temperatures to improve
engine warm-up.
The engine will not automatically crank after the
engine Wait To Start Indicator Light goes off if a
door or the hood is ajar.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left ON
for more than two minutes after the Wait To Start
Indicator Light goes out, reset the intake air heater
by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position for
at least 5 seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps
1 through 6 of “Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Starting Proce-
dure Engine Manifold Air Temperature 0°F To
