Engine Coolant Heater
If your vehicle has this feature, 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. At temperatures above
32°F
(OOC),
use of the coolant heater
is
not required.
