Starting and Stopping the Engine
Note: The heater is most effective when
Engine Idle Speed after Starting
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting minimizes
vehicle emissions and maximizes cabin
comfort and fuel economy.
The idle speed varies depending on certain
factors. These include vehicle component
and ambient temperatures as well as
electrical and climate system demands.
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
Failure to Start
Vehicles with Manual Transmission
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
•
Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
If the engine does not crank when you fully

key in position III, follow this procedure:
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
1. Fully depress both the clutch and brake
pedals.
2. Turn the key to position III until the
engine has started.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER(IF
EQUIPPED)
•
Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
•
•
Do not use multiple extension cords.
WARNING: Failure to follow
engine block heater instructions could
result in property damage or serious
personal injury.
Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
WARNING:Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
•
•
•
Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
WARNING: Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.
