1 Engine Preheat Telltale
The amber telltale will light when the in-
take manifold preheater is operating. The
heater is used for better cold starts. Opera-
tion time of the heater can vary in several
steps from 0 to 50 seconds depending on
coolant temperature and outside air temper-
ature. On cold mornings, the preheater will
be on for the maximum 50 seconds. When
the ignition key has been turned to the pre-
heat position, the preheater coils in the
intake manifold are activated to warm the
intake air. Once the engine is started, the
preheater may be re-engaged to assist in a
quicker engine warm-up. See page 202 for
information on using the preheater.
