Engine Coolant Heater

The engine heater can provide
easier starting and better fuel
economy during engine warm-up in
cold weather conditions at or
below −18°C (0°F). Vehicles with an
engine heater should be plugged in
at least four hours before starting.
An internal thermostat in the
plug-end of the cord may exist
which will prevent engine coolant
heater operation at temperatures
above −18°C (0°F).

If the vehicle has a diesel engine,
see the Duramax Diesel supplement
for more information.
