turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to

an engine block heater and transmission clutch

warming time required befo re driving. Consult a
dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with
