Driving and Operating

Engine Heater

The engine coolant 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 coolant heater operation at
temperatures above

18°C (0°F).

To Use the Engine Coolant
Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the

electrical cord.

The electrical cord is located on
the passenger side of the engine
compartment, between the
fender and the air cleaner.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded

110-volt AC outlet.

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.

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.

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.
