Wait To Start Lamp Description

The "WAIT TO START" lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, and the engine is below normal operating temperature. It will remain lit for 4 to 10 seconds, depending on engine temperature. If engine is at or above normal operating temperature the lamp will not turn on.

NOTE: If the ignition switch is left in the ON position for an extended period of time or the engine is not started within two minute cycling time, the glow plug system must be reset by turning the ignition switch to OFF position.
