used to keep the cab warm in cold con-

You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for about 2 minutes when
the power heater is turned off. This means
that the electric cooling fans are operating
to cool the power heater components, and
does not indicate a malfunction.
After about 2 minutes, the cooling fans
stop operating and the power heater turns
off completely.
We recommend not to restart the power
heater for 10 minutes after you turn it off.
Otherwise, a noise may be heard as the
heater ignites.
When refueling your vehicle, the engine
must be turned OFF. Turning the engine
OFF turns the power heater off.
