To
Use
tne Engine Coolant Heater
1.
Turn
off
the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. On
a
vehicle with a 2.2L (Code 4) engine, the cord is
located near the engine oil dipstick. On a vehicle
with a 2.4L (Code T) engine, the cord is located in
front of the air filter on the passenger's side.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
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.
Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your
vehicle may be equipped with
a
three-speed
automatic or
a
four-speed automatic transaxle. The
shift lever is located on the console between the seats.
There are six different positions for the shift lever on
the three-speed automatic transaxle and seven positions
for the four-speed automatic transaxle. While PARK (P),
REVERSE (R) and NEUTRAL (N) operate identically
for both transaxles, the forward gear positions represent
different gearing and operation. See "Forward
Gears (3-Speed)" or "Forward Gears (4-Speed)" later
in this section.
