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.
Gasoline Engine Only

The engine block heater cord is routed through the grille

by the right front tow hook.
It includes a removable cap that is secured by a tethered

strap. It also has a c-clip that is used for storage when not

in use for the winter months. During winter months,

remove the heater cord wiring assembly from itself on

the c-clip.
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:

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,

or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot
