BLOCK HEATER (OPTION)
In very cold weather, O°F (-18OC) or colder, the engine block heater can
help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up.
To use the block heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.

A CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an
electrical shock.
Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could
overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug
the cord into
a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt outlet. If
the cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension
cord rated for at least
15 amps.
