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 must be plugged in at least one

hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
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.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block heater
cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt
electrical cord could cause electrocution.
