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 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. For vehicles with
a 2.4L engine, the electrical cord
is located on the passenger side
of the engine compartment, near
the air cleaner. For vehicles with
a 2.0L turbo engine, the
electrical cord is located on the
front of the engine, on the driver
side of the vehicle.

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.
If you do not it could be
damaged.

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.
