Engine Coolant Heater
(If
Equipped)
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind
of
extension cord could overheat and cause
a
fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into
a
properly grounded three-prong
110-volt
AC
outlet.
If
the cord won’t reach, use
a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated
for
at
least
15
amps.

or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and
better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually,
the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To
Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2.
Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 10-volt
AC
outlet.
4.
Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug
and store the cord as it was before to keep it
away from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it
could be damaged.
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 retailer
in
the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle.
The
retailer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.
