Driving Through Deep Standing
Water
NOTICE:
If
you drive
too
quickly through deep puddles or
standing water, water can come
in
through your
engine’s air intake and badly damage your
engine.
If
you can’t avoid deep puddles or
standing water, drive through them very slowly.
Engine Coolant Heater
(Engine
Block
Heater) (Canada Only)
In very cold weather,
0°F
(-18°C)
or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and
better
fuel
economy during engine warm-up. Usually,
the coolant heater should be plugged
in
a minimum of
four hours prior
to
starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant heater:
1.
Turn
off
the engine.
2.
Open
the
hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.

NOTICE:

After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to
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 weather, the kind
of
oil
you have, and some other things. Instead of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact a Buick dealer
in
the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The
dealer can give you the best advice for that particular
area.
