An air intake heater (A) is standard equipment to aid in cold weather starting conditions. To activate cold weather starting device:

  1. Turn key switch (B) to RUN position (C).

    If system determines air intake heater is required the cold start indicator icon (D) on instrument display illuminates. A cold start countdown begins, in seconds, utilizing the vehicle speed icon (E) on instrument display. When cold start countdown reaches zero cold start indicator icon turns off.

    NOTE: If operator begins cranking engine before cold start indicator icon turns off, system de-energizes the air intake heater. Key switch must be turned to the STOP position (F) then back to RUN position to cycle through and energize air intake heater again.

  2. Depress clutch pedal and turn key to START position (G).

  3. Idle engine until it warms to operating temperature.

    NOTE: For temperature ranging 0° C (32° F)—30° C (86° F), run engine between 900 rpm and 1000 rpm.

    NOTE: If hydraulic functions operate slowly, warm the transmission-hydraulic system oil. (Refer to Warm Transmission-Hydraulic System Oil in “Hydraulic System Controls and Operations” section.)
