Glow Plugs

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The glow plugs are heaters in each of the cylinders that turn ON, they are pulse-width modulated when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position prior to starting the engine. The ECM remains pulsing the glow plugs a short time after starting, then are turned OFF.

A Wait to Start lamp on the instrument panel provides information on engine starting conditions. The Wait to Start lamp will not illuminate during post-start glow plug operation.
