(2) Pre-heating Procedures
As an engine starting aid, pre-heating is required in a cold engine
starting.
The type with QOS system:
This pre-heating uses "QOS," a quick pre-heating system which
automatically controls pre-heating time utilizing coolant temperature to
conduct the irreducible minimum of pre-heating.
1) Turn the key to the DRIVE position, and the glow plugs built in the
engine will grow red-hot to pre-heat the engine. At this time the
pre-heating indicator lamp on the meterboard is actuated.
2) When the pre-heating indicator lamp goes out, try starting the engine at
once.
Relationship between water temperature and pre-heating time (For
ref.)
20°C (68°F) ········· About 0.5 sec.
5°C (35°F) ··········· About 1.5 sec.
0°C (32°F) ··········· About 2 sec.
-15°C (5°F) ·········· About 6.3 sec.
The type with a control resistance
1) Turn the starter switch key counter-clockwise to PRE-HEAT position in
order to heat the glow plugs on the engine.
The Pre-heating time of 5 seconds is required until the control
resistance coil becomes red.
2) Turn the starter switch key clockwise to START position as soon as the
control resistance coil red heat.
