COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Engine Block
Heater)
Engine Block Heater
• To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this vehiclewill inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than –22° F (–30°
C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not
been used. An externally-powered electric engine block heater is available as
optional equipment or from your authorized dealer.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster when the ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is shut off as a
reminder to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
CAUTION!
• Use of the recommended SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil and adhering to theprescribed oil change intervals is important to prevent engine damage and
ensure satisfactory starting in cold conditions.
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
• To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening
in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious
personal injury.
