Engine Heater - Buick Encore 2022 Owner's Manual

Installation Instructions
When first trying to fit the cover, it may
appear to be undersized but will stretch
during installation to ensure a tight fit. The
initial installation of the cover is best
performed when the winter cover is warm.
1. Center the winter grille cover and make
sure that it is positioned correctly.
2. Push the plastic hooks back to engage
the grille slats.
3. Repeat for all hooks to fully engage
cover to grille.
4. Make sure all clips remain engaged
during installation. The cover should be
stretched to a tight fit when properly
installed.

Engine Heater

Vehicles 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
Driving and Operating
internal thermostat in the plug end of the
cord will prevent engine heater operation at
temperatures above 18 °C (0 °F).
Warning
Do not plug in the engine block heater
while the vehicle is parked in a garage or
under a carport. Property damage or
personal injury may result. Always park
the vehicle in a clear open area away
from buildings or structures.
To Use the Engine Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
