Note:When you switch the ignition on, youcan use the socket to power 12 voltappliances with a maximum current ratingof 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after youswitch the ignition off, switch the ignitionon.Note:Do not hang any accessory from theaccessory plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over thevehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts ora fuse may blow.
Note:Always keep the power point capsclosed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than anaccessory plug into the power point. Thisdamages the power point and may blowthe fuse.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefullybefore you start your vehicle.
The 6.7L diesel engine incorporates a delaybetween a crank command and starterengagement to crank the engine. Thisdelay ensures robust starting performancein all environmental conditions includingextreme cold. The crank command isinitiated by the operator by turning theignition key. The delay varies with enginecoolant temperature. There is no delay forhot coolant temperature. The delayincreases at colder coolant temperatures.Maximum delay of 2.5 seconds isexperienced below -13.0°F (-25°C).
Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow PlugSystem
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
•Eight glow plugs, one per cylinder.
•Glow plug control module.
•Engine coolant temperature sensor.
•Barometric pressure sensor.
•Environmental temperature sensor.
The powertrain and glow plug controlmodules electronically control the glowplug system. After you switch the ignitionon, the glow plug control moduleimmediately energizes the glow plugs. Theglow plug control module, using the enginecoolant temperature, barometric pressuresensor and environmental temperaturesensor, determines how long the glowplugs stay energized. The required time forthe glow plugs to be energized decreasesas the coolant temperature, barometricpressure and environmental temperatureincrease.
Before starting the engine, check thefollowing:
•Make sure all occupants fasten theirseatbelt.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the transmission is in park(P) or neutral (N).
•Turn the ignition key to the on position.
Note:Do not press the accelerator duringstarting.
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Turn the key to the start position tostart the engine. Release the key whenthe engine starts.
