I never try to start mine in the winter but even in the fall it was cool enough that it did not start like in the summer. I felt bad about having to hold the pedal down a bit to keep it running. Randy B -----Original Message----- Or at least part of it. A few glow cycles is also a must when it gets down there. It is also wise to crank, non-stop with the pedal floored until the engine is firing on enough cylinders to keep itself running. This can take quite a bit of cranking but it is necessary and the starter can handle it.

The best that I can explain it is that the half-way position is an urban setting, while fully extended is for rural use. The antenna button in the center console is for "fine tuning". Someone can certainly explain it better than that... -- John L. Ervine 1981 240D 4-spd 270+kmi 1980 300TD 175+kmi 1980 300SD 277+kmi 1977 280S 4-spd 81+kmi 1976 350SE 4-spd 163+kmi
