A computer system controls the engine’s idle speed. When you
start your vehicle, the engine’s idle speed normally runs high.
These faster engine speeds will make your vehicle coast slightly
faster than its normal idle speed. It should, however, slow down
after a short time. If it does not, have the idle speed checked.

[ST07390(ALL)07/95]
If the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically, do
not allow your vehicle to idle for more than 10 minutes. Have
the vehicle checked.

RWARNING
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very
high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.

RWARNING
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or
other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up
the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can
start a fire.

If you consistently start your vehicle in subzero temperatures,
use an engine block heater (if your vehicle has this option).

Engine Block Heater (If equipped)
*
[ST07700(ALL)03/95]
Engine block heaters are strongly recommended if you live in a
region where temperatures reach Ҁ20˚F (Ҁ29˚C) or below
consistently during the winter months. An engine block heater
warms the engine coolant, which improves starting, warms up
the engine faster, and allows the heater-defrost system to
respond quickly.
