Wait To Start Light: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The WAIT TO START indicator 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 20 seconds, depending on engine temperature. If engine is at or above normal operating temperature the indicator 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 the two minute cycling time, the glow plug system must be reset by turning the ignition switch to OFF position.
