Engine Heater
The engine heater can provide easier starting and better
fuel economy during engine warm-up in cold weather
conditions at or below 0°F (−18°C). Vehicles with an
engine heater should be plugged in at least four hours
before starting.
To Use the Engine Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Remove the extension cord from the trunk. Open
the hood and connect the electrical cord (A) with
the extension cord.
3. Plug the extension cord into a normal, grounded
110-volt AC outlet.
{ CAUTION:
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 will not reach, use a heavy-duty
three-prong extension cord rated for at least
15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug both
the extension cord and under hood electrical cord,
and store them as they were before. This will
keep them away from moving engine parts, and
prevent damage.
The length of time the heater should remain plugged in
depends on several factors. Ask a dealer/retailer in
the area where you will be parking the vehicle for the
best advice on this.
