To Use the Engine Coolant Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The

electrical cord is located on the passenger side of
the vehicle near the headlamp and the radiator.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.

{

WARNING:

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, to prevent damage.

The length of time the heater should remain plugged in
depends on several factors. Ask a dealer in the area
where you will be parking the vehicle for the best advice
on this.

Automatic Transmission Operation

If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, the shift
lever is located on the console between the seats.

There are several
different positions for the
automatic transmission.

P (Park): This position locks the front wheels. It is the
best position to use when starting the engine because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
