Engine block heaters
Engines are more difficult to start when the
ambient temperature is very low. In
geographical areas where temperatures below
-10°C (14°F) are experienced frequently, it is
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The
block heater will have an insulated connector at
the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a
mains supply using a suitable extension cable.
The heater can remain in use overnight if
required. Typically, an e ngine block heater will
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.
For further information consult your Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
