Engine Heater

The engine heater, if available, can
help in cold weather conditions at or
below

18 °C (0 °F) for easier

starting and better fuel economy
during engine warm-up. Plug in the
coolant heater at least four hours
before starting the vehicle. An
internal thermostat in the plug end
of the cord will prevent engine
heater operation at temperatures
above

18 °C (0 °F).

To Use the Engine Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the

electrical cord.

The electrical cord is on the
driver side of the engine
compartment, between the
fender and the engine
compartment fuse block.

Check the heater cord for
damage. If it is damaged, do
not use it. See your dealer for
a replacement. Inspect the
cord for damage yearly.

3. Plug it 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.

.

Use a weatherproof,
heavy-duty, 15 amp-rated
extension cord if needed.
Failure to use the
recommended extension
cord in good operating
condition, or using a
damaged heater or
extension cord, could make
