Engine
Coolant Heater (Option)
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
1
IO-volt AC outlet.
A
CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungroundea 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.
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 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 Aurora retailer in the area where you’ll be parking
your vehicle. The retailer can give
you
the best advice
for that particular area.
