A
CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock.

a
fire. You could be seriously injured.
Plug the cord into

The answer depends on the weather, the kind
of
oil you
have, and some other things. Instead
of
trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact
a
Buick dealer
in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The
dealer
can
give you the best advice
for
that particular
area.
