To
Use the Engine 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
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 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 dealer in the area where you’ll be parking
your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
