To
Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1.
Turn off the engine.
2.
Open
the
hood
and
unwrap
the
eieciricai
cord.
The electrical cord is located on the driver’s side
of the engine compartment.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded
1
10-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
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.
