ENGINE
BLOCK HEATER (OPTION)
In very cold weather, 0 F (-18 C) 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.
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.

Headlight “On” Warning
If the manual light switch is left on (as when someone has parked your
car), you’ll hear a warning tone when you turn
off the ignition and open
the driver’s door. -
Power Drain Protection
*-
When the ignition is off and the interior lights or underhood light are
accidentally left on, they will automatically shut off after after
10 minutes.
This protects you from a possible dead battery. To turn power back on,
lift up on the outside door handle or turn the ignition to the
RUN
position.

any underhood electric fan.

I A CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded.
Use
a flashlight if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You don’t need to add
water to the Delco Freedom@ battery installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But if a battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount
of fluid is there.
If it is low, add water to take care of that first. If
you don’t, explosive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you. Don’t get it on
you.
If you accidentally get it in your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get medical help immediately.

5. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or missing insulation. If
they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are
some basic things you should
know. Positive
(+) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.

A CAUTION:
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly, even if
you just open the hood. Stay
away from the engine if you see or
hear steam coming from it. Just turn it
off and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down. Wait until there is no
sign of steam or coolant before opening the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire.
You or others could be badly burned. Stop
your engine if it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine is cool.
