• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater with

ungrounded electrical systems or two pronged (cheater) adapters.

Also ensure that the block heater, especially the cord, is in good

condition before use.

• Make sure that when in operation, the extension cord plug /engine

block heater cord plug connection is free and clear of water in order

to prevent possible shock or fire.

• Be sure that areas where the vehicle is parked are clean and clear of

all combustibles such as petroleum products, dust, rags, paper and

similar items.

• Be sure that the engine block heater, heater cord and extension cord

are solidly connected. A poor connection can cause the cord to

become very hot and may result in an electrical shock or fire. Be sure

to check for heat anywhere in the electrical hookup once the system

has been operating for approximately a half hour.

• Finally, have the engine block heater system checked during your fall

tune-up to be sure it’s in good working order.

How to use the engine block heater

Ensure the receptacle terminals are clean and dry prior to use. To clean

them, use a dry cloth.

Depending on the type of factory installed equipment, your engine block

heater system may consume anywhere between 400 watts or 1000 watts

of power per hour. Your factory installed block heater system does not

have a thermostat; however, maximum temperature is attained after

approximately three hours of operation. Block heater operation longer

than 3 hours will not improve system performance and will unnecessarily

use additional electricity.

Make sure system is unplugged and properly stowed before driving the

vehicle. While not in use, make sure the protective cover seals the

prongs of the engine block heater cord plug.

BRAKES

Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the scheduled

maintenance information for scheduled maintenance.
