might seem to be shut off;
however, once the brake pedal is
released, the engine will start up
again.

Engine Heater

The vehicle may have an engine
heater. The engine heater 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).
