-12ºC (10ºF) and the engine does
not start within five seconds on the
first try, turn the key to OFF, wait

the engine does not start in two

Using the engine block heater
(if equipped)
An engine block heater warms the
engine coolant, which improves
starting, warms up the engine
faster and allows the heaterĆ
defroster system to respond
quickly. Use of an engine block
heater is strongly recommended if
you live in a region where
temperatures reach -23ºC (-10ºF)
or below.
For best results, plug the heater in
at least three hours before starting
the vehicle. Using the heater for
longer than three hours will not
harm the engine, so the heater can
be plugged in the night before
starting the vehicle.
