NORMAL OPERATION — DIESEL ENGINE Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. Observe the following when the engine is operating. All message center lights are off. WARNING! When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your vehicle. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off. Engine oil pressure is above 10 psi (69 kPa) at idle.
Starting fluids or flammable liquids must never be used in the Cummins® diesel engine (see Warning label). Never pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister, air intake piping, or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire and explosion causing serious personal injury and engine damage. Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil dren to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil dren), and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. Voltmeter operation: The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at various engine temperatures. 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 control module. Post-heat operation can run for several minutes, and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will stabilize.
4 The engine is equipped with an automatic electric air preheating system. If the instructions in this manual are followed, the engine should start in all conditions. The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of the headlamps, interior lamps, and also a noticeable reduction in blower motor speed.
