WARNING: Do not fully close thehood, or allow it to drop under its ownweight when using the engine blockheater. This could damage the powercable and may cause an electrical shortresulting in fire, injury and propertydamage.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and engine blockheater cord plug connections are freeand clear of water. This could cause anelectric shock or fire.
•If the engine block heater cord is underthe hood, do not remove the wiringfrom its original location. Do not closethe hood on the extension wiring.
•Park your vehicle in a clean area, clearof combustible materials.
•Firmly connect the engine block heatercord and the extension cord.
•Check the extension cord for heatanywhere when the system has beenoperating for approximately 30minutes.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER WORK
The engine block heater warms the enginecoolant. This allows the climate controlsystem to quickly respond. The equipmentincludes a heater element installed in theengine block and a wire harness. You canconnect the system to a grounded 110 voltAC electrical source.
Note:The engine block heater is mosteffective when outdoor temperatures arebelow 0°F (-18°C). We recommend the useof engine block heater to improve enginecold start performance.
USING THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the engine block heater longer thanthree hours does not improve systemperformance and unnecessarily useselectricity.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLEINFORMATION – FREQUENTLYASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if the vehicle runs outof fuel and the high voltage battery isout of charge?
Refuel and start your vehicle normally.The engine will recharge the highvoltage battery.
Why does the engine sometimes startat key-on?
The vehicle's computer determines ifan engine start is required at key-on.It starts the engine when necessary forcabin heating, windshield defrost, or ifthe outside temperature is low.
Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, andhow will it affect my fuel economy?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, but youmay notice slightly reduced fueleconomy because ethanol containsless energy per gallon than gasoline.Your hybrid vehicle is not designed touse E85 (85% ethanol).
Why does it take a long time before theengine shuts down?
There are several reasons the enginestays on for an extended amount oftime when you first start it. Onecommon reason is to make sure thatthe emissions components are warmenough to minimize tailpipe emission.As the climate gets cooler, theengine-on time is extended.
Why does my engine stay on when it isextremely cold outside?
In order to make sure that the climatecontrol system can begin heating thecabin or defrosting the windshield assoon as a driver requests it, the enginecoolant temperature has to be keptsufficiently hot. Keeping the engine onis required to maintain the correctcoolant temperature.
