ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits
quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a
standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood on
the driver’s side of the vehicle. It has a removable cap
that is located on the driver side of the Integrated Power
Module.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one
hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block heater
cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt
electrical cord could cause electrocution.

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
• Move the shift lever into PARK only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.

is at idle speed.
• Do not move the shift lever between PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is

• Before moving the shift lever into any gear, make
