Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave theengine idling for long periods, werecommend that you do one of thefollowing:
•Open the windows at least 1.0 in(2.5 cm).
•Set your climate control to outside air.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Cold or Hot Engine
1.Switch the ignition on and wait untilthe glow plug indicator goes off.
2.Fully depress the clutch pedal (manualtransmission) or brake pedal(automatic transmission).
3.Start the engine.
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note:Releasing the clutch pedal (manualtransmission) or brake pedal (automatictransmission) while the engine is startingwill stop the engine cranking and return toignition on.
Note:When the temperature is below 5°F(-15°C), you may need to crank the enginefor up to 10 seconds.
Note:You can only operate the starter fora limited period of time.
Note:After a limited number of attemptsto start your engine, the system does notallow you to try again until a period of timehas elapsed, for example 30 minutes.
Failure to Start
If the engine does not crank when theclutch pedal has been fully depressed andthe ignition key is turned to position III.
1.Fully depress the clutch and brakepedals.
2.Turn the key to position III until theengine starts.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissionsreduction system on your vehicle. It filtersharmful diesel particulates (soot) from theexhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. Theregeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and the exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and after youhave switched the engine off. This is apotential fire hazard.
Note:Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to the high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.

Note:Brake dust may accumulate on thewheels, even under normal drivingconditions. Some dust is inevitable as thebrakes wear. See Cleaning the AlloyWheels (page 258).
Note:Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country for which yourvehicle was originally built, the brake lampsmay flash during heavy braking. Followingthis the hazard warning flashers may alsoflash when your vehicle comes to a stop.
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when driving from a car wash orstanding water to dry the brakes.
Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you brakeheavily by measuring the rate at which youpress the brake pedal. It providesmaximum braking efficiency as long as youpress the pedal. Brake assist can reducestopping distances in critical situations.
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steeringcontrol and vehicle stability duringemergency stops by keeping the brakesfrom locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
