Cold Weather Starting
WARNING: Do not use startingfluid, for example ether, in the air intakesystem. Such fluid could causeimmediate explosive damage to theengine and possible personal injury.
WARNING: Do not mix diesel withgasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This couldcause an explosion.
We recommend using the engine blockheater for starting when the ambienttemperature is at or below -9°F (-23°C).See Engine Block Heater (page 105).
When operating in cold weather, you canuse Motorcraft® cetane improvers ornon-alcohol-based cetane improvers froma reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine fails to start, turn the key to theoff position and wait 30 seconds beforetrying again.
Your vehicle may come with a coldweather starting strategy that preventssevere engine damage by assisting inengine lubrication warm-up. In extremelycold ambient temperatures, this strategyactivates and prevents the acceleratorpedal use for 30 seconds after startingyour vehicle. A message appears in theinformation display as your vehicle warmsup. By not allowing the accelerator pedaluse, the engine oil can properly lubricatethe bearings preventing engine damagedue to lack of proper lubrication. After the30 second warm-up period, theaccelerator pedal is operational again anda message appears informing you that yourvehicle is ready to drive.
When starting the engine in extremely coldtemperatures, for example -15°F (-26°C),we recommend you allow the engine toidle for several minutes before driving yourvehicle.

If you attempt to start theengine before the glow plug activationtime ends, but it fails to start, reset theglow plugs by turning the key to the offposition.
3.Once the engine starts, allow it to idlefor about 15 seconds. This is to protectthe engine. Do not increase enginespeed until the oil pressure gaugeindicates normal pressure.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to fiveminutes before shutting it down. The largerthe engine, the greater the need is for thisidling period.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes.Excessive idling reduces fuel economy.
