Remote Start Comfort Systems — If Equipped
When remote start is activated, the heated steering

wheel, and driver heated seat features will automatically

turn on in cold weather. In warm weather, the driver

vented seat feature will automatically turn on when the

remote start is activated. These features will stay on

through the duration of remote start or until the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position.
The Remote Start Comfort System can be activated and

deactivated through the Electronic Vehicle Information

Center (EVIC). For more information on Remote Start

Comfort System operation refer to “Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable

Features (System Setup)” in “Understanding Your Instru-

ment Panel”.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine does not

require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal

operation is allowed, providing the following recommen-

dations are followed:
• Warm up the engine before placing it under load.
• Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged

periods.

• Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent

engine lugging.

• Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indica-

tors.

• Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.
• Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carry-

ing or towing significant weight.
