Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong

Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and store
the cord as it was before to keep

How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind
of
oil you have, and some other things. Instead
of
trying to list everything here, we ask that
you
contact
your Aurora retailer in the area where you’ll be parking
your vehicle. The retailer can give you the best advice
for that particular area.
