Engine Coolant Heater

The engine coolant 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 coolant heater should be plugged in at
least four hours before starting.

To Use the Engine Coolant Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.

On vehicles with the 3.9L V6 engine, the coolant
heater cord is located on the driver side of the
vehicle, near the strut tower. On vehicles with the
4.6L V8 engine, the cord is located on the driver
side of the vehicle on the right side of the engine
air cleaner. It is between the engine cover and the
engine air cleaner.

WARNING:

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.

3. Plug the cord into a normal, grounded 110-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, and prevent damage.

The length of time the heater should remain plugged in
depends on several factors. Ask a dealer in the area
where you will be parking the vehicle for the best advice
on this.
