CAUTION:
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
will
not
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
do
not,
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
will
be
parking
your
vehicle.
The
dealer
can
give
you
the
best
advice
for
that
particular
area.
Active
Fuel
Management™
Your
vehicle’s
V8
engine
may
have
Active
Fuel
Management™.
This
system
allows
the
engine
to
operate
on
either
all
or
half
of
its
cylinders,
depending
on
your
driving
conditions.
When
less
power
is
required,
such
as
cruising
at
a
constant
vehicle
speed,
the
system
will
operate
in
the
half
cylinder
mode,
allowing
your
vehicle
to
achieve
better
fuel
economy.
When
greater
power
demands
are
required,
such
as
accelerating
from
a
stop,
passing,
or
merging
onto
a
freeway,
the
system
will
maintain
full-cylinder
operation.
