It says -42c in the description right there. And -42c works out at something like -43f. But the reason I came to this comment is: we complain because we don't have luxuries like Duramax's! We're neither prepared for cold weather, nor hot weather. Brits are only happy when its grey and dull out.

Your owners manual suggests not using the keyless start mode in freezing Temps. It also suggests cycling the key 4 times to get optimal glow plug temps for smoother starts and longer life on the motor 😉.

[@patrickmoss6777]

Might be a good idea to make sure the lights are off to save some power for the battery,just sayin.

[@MainvilleATV]

They turn on automatically.

[@harveymushman4190]

Led draws almost now power. I left my interior leds on for a week at my parents one time and started right like the battery was full 🔋

[@Jason1Pa]

Actually putting on the lights for a bit before you start it is a good thing. It gets the ions in the battery moving with the draw but also that action will give you a little extra boost. If you ever get in a vehicle that can hardly start try putting on your lights for a bit then turn them off and try cranking. It works unless the battery is totally dead.
