NOTICE: 
After  you’ve  used  the  coolant  heater, be  sure  to  store  the  cord  as 
it  was  before  to keep 
it away from moving  engine  parts.  If  you 
don’t, 
it could  be  damaged. 
How  long should  you keep  the coolant  heater plugged in? The  answer 
depends  on  the weather,  the  kind  of  oil  you  have. and  some other things. 
Inste.ad  of  trying 
to list everything  here, we ask  that  you  contact your GM 
dealer in the area  where  you‘ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give 
you  the  best  advice  for that particular  area. 
Automatic  Transmission 
There  are several different positions  for your  shift lever. 
If your vehicle  is equipped with an  automatic  transmission, it now  features 
an  electronic  shift position  indicator 
within the instrument cluster.  This 
display  must  be  powered  anytime the shift lever is  capable 
of being moved 
out  of  the 
PARK (P) position.  This means that if your  key  is in the OFF 
position, but  not locked,  there will be a small current drain on your battery 
which  could discharge your battery  over 
a period  of time. If you  have  a need 
to  leave  your key 
in the ignition in the OFF position  for an extended  period 
for  any  reason, 
it is recommended  that you disconnect  the battery  cable 
from  the battery  to prevent  discharging  your battery. 
PARK  (P) -This  locks your rear wheels.  It’s  the best position to use 
when  you start  your  engine  because your vehicle can’t move easily.
