To
Use
the Coolant Heater

Turn
off
the engine.
2.
Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt
AC
outlet.
I
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 Buick dealer
in
the area where you’ll be parking
your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice
for
that particular area.
