Using the engine block heater during cold weather is very important to ensure proper starting of the vehicle and adequate lubrication during start-up. This will prevent cold weather start-up engine damage. A block heater must be used when temperatures are below -10˚F (-23˚C.) For conditions when the coolant temperature is below -10˚F (-23˚C), the message center will display a 30 second countdown timer. During this time, the engine will be limited to idle for a period of 30 seconds from engine start before normal operation can be continued. After this time has elapsed, a message "OK to Drive" will be displayed for five seconds. These messages are NORMAL. You may experience several conditions in which the engine idle speed will be elevated above the base operating range. Conditions such as low battery voltage, PTO operation and cold engine warm-up will elevate the engine idle speed. All of these conditions noted above are NORMAL and do not require the vehicle to be taken to the dealership for diagnostic testing or service.
