The engine coolant heater can
provide easier starting and better
fuel economy during engine warm
up in cold weather conditions at or
below 18°C (0°F). Vehicles with an
engine coolant heater should be
plugged in at least four hours before
starting.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the
electrical cord. The cord is
attached to the diagonal brace
on the driver side of the engine
compartment.
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 will not 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,
and prevent damage.
The length of time the heater should
remain plugged in depends on
several factors. Ask a dealer in the
area where you will be parking the
vehicle for the best advice on this.
These vehicle accessories can be
used for up to 10 minutes after the
engine turned off:
Audio System
Power Windows
The radio will work when the key is
in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY.
Once the key is turned from ON/
RUN to LOCK/OFF the radio will
continue to work 10 minutes or until
the driver door is opened. The
power windows will continue to work
for up to 10 minutes or until any
door is opened.
