Engine Coolant Heater (If Equipped)

In very cold weather, 0 F (-18 C) or colder, the engine

coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and better

fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant

heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior

to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32 F (0 C),

use of the coolant heater is not required.

To Use the Engine Coolant Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. It is

located at the front of the engine compartment on the

driver’s side.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110

-volt AC outlet.

CAUTION:

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 won’t 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 don’t, it could

be damaged.

How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in?

The answer depends on the outside temperature, the

kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of

trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact

your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your

vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that

particular area.
