NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle.
If
you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the fuel injection system operates. Before adding
electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don’t, your
engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Driving Through Deep Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid
deep puddles
or
standing water, drive through them very slowly.
Driving In Snow (Diesel Engines)
When driving
in
a
heavy snowstorm or
in
swirling snow with a diesel
engine, snow can get into the air intake system.
If
you keep driving
in
these
conditions the air cleaner may get plugged, causing black smoke and loss
of
power.
In
an emergency, if the air cleaner gets plugged with snow,
you
can
remove the air cleaner. Then, drive to
a
place
of
safety
as
soon
as
possible
and put
the
air cleaner back on.
Starting Your Diesel Engine
Your diesel engine starts differently than a gasoline engine.
1.
Move your shift lever to PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL
(N).
Your engine
won’t start
in
any other position
-
that’s
a
safety feature.
To
restart
when you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
