This could result in a flash fire and explosi[...]

• V oltmeter Operation: • The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation if certain engine temperatures ar e below 66°F (19°C). This cycling operation is caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the cycling operation is controlled by the engine contr ol module, this time will not e[...]

NOTE: Refer to Fuel Requirements in this section for further details on fuel recommendations. Engine Block Heater The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather .

W inter Front Usage If a winter front or cold weather cover is to be used, a percentage of the total grille opening ar ea must be left uncovered to pr ovide sufficient air flow to the char ge air cooler and automatic transmission oil cooler . The per- centage of opening must be increased with the incr easing ambient air temperature and/or engine lo[...]

If temperatures ar e below 32°F (0°C), operate the engine at moderate speeds for 5 minutes before full loads ar e applied. Engine Idling — In Cold Weather A void prolonged idling in ambient temperatur es below 0°F . Long periods of idling may be harmful to your engine because combustion chamber temperatures can drop so low that the fuel may no[...]

Stopping The Engine Idle the engine a few minutes before r outine shutdown. After full load operation, idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it down. This idle period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant to carry excess heat away from the combustion chamber , bearings, internal components, and turbocharger . This is especially import[...]

Operating Precautions A void Overheating The Engine The temperature of the coolant (a mixtur e of 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% water) must not exceed the normal range of the temperature gauge (240°F/1 16°C) with a 16 psi (1 10 kPa) radiator cap.

2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stability?[...]

CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure”. Cold tir e inflation pressure is defined as[...]
