Jeep Wrangler: STARTING THE ENGINE — DIESEL ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED) / Extreme Cold Weather
The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the engine. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord. Its use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F (-23°C). It should be used when the vehicle has not been running overnight or longer periods and should be plugged in two hours prior to start. Its use is required for cold starts with temperatures under -20°F (-28°C).
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from an authorized Mopar® dealer.
- A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in thermostat.
- A Diesel Pre-Heat system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a warming engine.
Normal Starting
