Starting and Stopping the Engine Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds as starter damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to 3 (off) and wait 30 seconds before trying again. 1. Turn the key to on without turning the key to start. Do not start the engine until the glow-plug pre-heat indicator turns off. 2. When the glow plug pre-heat indicator turns off, turn the key to start, then release the key as soon as the engine starts. The glow plugs may remain on for a period of time after engine start. If the engine is not started before the glow plug activation time ends, the glow plugs will need to be reset by turning the key to off. 3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is to protect the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure. ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown process has started: • A chime sounds and the information display will show ENGINE TURNS OFF IN 30 (seconds) and start counting down. • The 5 or 15 minute timer can be restarted by changing the position of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the final 30 seconds. • When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and this message will appear in the information display ENGINE TURNED OFF. • One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system simulates key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position, initiating normal accessory delay period. • The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system before restarting the vehicle. The engine idle shutdown idle timer does not start if: • The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode. • The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C). • The exhaust emission control device (DPF) is regenerating. 9 2013 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This
system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in
P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or
15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown
process has started:

One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system
simulates key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position,
initiating normal accessory delay period.
The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system
before restarting the vehicle.
The engine idle shutdown idle timer does not start if:
The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode.
