STARTING AND OPERATING

After Starting

The idle speed will automatically decrease
as the engine warms up.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the en-
gine, and permits quicker starts in cold
weather. Connect the cord to a standard
110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater cord is routed
under the hood on the driver's side of the
vehicle. It has a removable cap that is
located on the driver side of the Integrated
Power Module.
The engine block heater must be plugged
in at least one hour to have an adequate
warming effect on the engine.
