Follow the steps in the Normal Starting Procedure ex-
cept:
CAUTION!
Do not crank engine for more than 15 seconds at a
time or starter motor damage may result. Turn key to
OFF and wait at least two minutes for starter to cool
before repeating start procedure.
²The WAIT TO START light will remain on for a period
of time (length of time depends on engine tempera-
ture).
²After the WAIT TO START light goes off, turn the
ignition key to START. Do not press the accelerator
during starting.
²After engine start-up, check to see that there is oil
pressure.
²Allow the engine to idle about three minutes until
the manifold heaters have completed the post-heat
cycle.
²Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1000 RPM at low coolant temperatures to improve engine
warm-up.
NOTE:If the engine stalls or if the ignition switch is left
ON for more than two minutes after the WAIT TO START
light goes out, reset the grid heaters by turning the
ignition switch to OFF for at least five seconds and then
back ON. Repeat steps 3 through 7 of the normal starting
procedure.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) Ð IF
EQUIPPED
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold tire inflation placard pressure. The
placard pressure is defined on the Tire and Loading
Information label. The Tire and Loading Information
label is located on the drivers side B-pillar. Vehicles
equipped to be operated in either the ªmax load inflation
pressureº condition described on the Tire and Loading
Information label or the alternative ªlight load inflation
pressureº condition described on the Supplemental Tire
Pressure Information label, may also be equipped with a
reset switch to choose the appropriate TPMS low pres-
sure warning threshold levels based upon the vehicle
load condition. The Supplemental Tire Pressure Informa-
tion label is located on the rear face of the driver door.
Operation of the ªLight Loadº reset switch is described
later in this manual section.The tire pressure will vary with temperature by approxi-
mately 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12ÉF (6.5ÉC). This means
that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for
more than 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile after a 3
hour period. For information on how to properly inflate
the vehicle's tires, refer to ºTire Pressureº under ªTires ±
General Informationº in this section. The tire pressure
will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there should be no adjustment for this increased
pressure.
The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low pressure
warning threshold for any reason, including low tem-
perature effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.

Loadº Reset Switch Description ± If Equipped
WARNING!
Never operate your vehicle with the TPMS and tire
pressures set to the Light Load Inflation Pressure
settings if carrying more than two occupants (150 lbs
each) plus 200 pounds of cargo. The vehicle ªLight
Load Definitionº is found in the Supplemental Tire
Pressure Information Label which is located on the
rear face of the driver door. Failure to do so may
cause you to lose control resulting in an accident,
causing serious or fatal injury.The TPMS ªLight Loadº reset switch will allow the driver
to switch between the max load inflation pressure (cold)
low pressure warning threshold and the light load infla-
tion pressure (cold) low pressure warning threshold
depending on the vehicle's load condition. The Tire and
Loading Information label defines the recommended
front and rear cold tire inflation pressures for the vehicle
when operating in the Max Load condition. A Supple-
mental Tire Pressure Information label is also available
defining Light Load tire inflation pressures when oper-
ating in the Light Load condition. When the ªLight Loadº
reset switch LED is ON, the TPMS is using the light load
inflation pressure (cold) low inflation warning thresh-
olds.

ªLight Loadº Reset Switch Operation ± If
Equipped
²
This vehicle may have different recommended tire
pressure values between the front and rear tires as
shown in both the Tire Loading Information Label and
the Supplemental Tire Pressure Information Label. It is
also equipped to be driven with tire pressures appro-
priate to either a Light Load condition or the vehicle
Max Load condition.
²The ªLight Loadº reset switch will allow the driver to
change between the max load inflation pressure (cold)
low pressure warning threshold and the light load
inflation pressure (cold) low pressure warning thresh-
old depending on the vehicle's load condition. Refer to
the ªSupplemental Tire Pressure Informationº label for
the vehicle's Light Load inflation pressures and ªTire
and Loading Informationº label for the vehicle's Max
Load inflation pressures.
