Manual Transmission Key Release Button Key Reminder An alarm will sound to remind you if the key is left in the ignition and the driver's door is opened. STARTING PROCEDURES The Cummins Diesel engine is equipped with several features designed to assist cold weather starting and operation: • The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the engine just above and behind the oil filter. It requires a 110-115 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord. NOTE: The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized Mopar dealer. To remove the key on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, turn the key to the Lock position and press the button to remove the ignition key. • A 12-volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in thermostat.
