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.
Some models may have an internal
thermostat in the cord which will
prevent engine heater operation at
temperatures above 0 °F (

18 °C).

To Use the Engine Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the

electrical cord. The bundled
cord is on the driver side of the
engine compartment, in front of
the battery. See

.

Check the heater cord for

a replacement. Inspect the
cord for damage yearly.

3. Plug the cord into a normal,

grounded 110-volt AC outlet.

Warning

Improper use of the heater cord
or an extension cord can damage
the cord and may result in
overheating and fire.

.

Plug the cord into a
three-prong electrical utility
receptacle that is protected
by a ground fault detection
function. An ungrounded
outlet could cause an
electric shock.

heavy-duty, 15 amp-rated
extension cord if needed.
