ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms engine coolant and
permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord
to a standard 110-115 volt AC electrical outlet with
grounded, three wire extension cord.
Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) are
expected to last for several days.
The engine block heater cord is located:
• 3.7L/4.7L Engine — coiled and strapped to the engine

oil dipstick tube.

• 5.7L Engine — bundled and fastened to the injector

harness.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the cord before driving.
Damage to the 110-115 volt AC electrical cord could
cause electrocution.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Shift into P (Park) only after the vehicle has come

to a complete stop.

Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only after the

vehicle has come to a complete stop and the
engine is at idle speed.

Do not shift from R (Reverse), P (Park), or N

(Neutral) into any forward gear when the engine
is above idle speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot
