Starting A 2.0hdi

[Guest bigsacs]

Hi, my instruction manual states to wait for the preheating symbol to go out prior to cold starting. I've yet to see the symbol at all and wondered if my 2005 Berlingo 2.0Hdi has one. It starts easily enough but as yet the weather has been mild. Should l have a preheat (glow plug) warning symbol on the dash? I've only had the car 2 weeks so still getting used to it. Thanks

On HDI's the glowplugs don't begin to operate until temperature is down to minus degrees.

Thanks Johndouglas, Its a relief to know there's nothing amiss. Bigsacs
