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 energy 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 three 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

Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding

or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out

and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle has

continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the

vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.

Refer to Brake system warning

light in the Instrument Cluster

chapter for information on the brake

system warning light.

Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This

system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by

keeping the brakes from locking. The ABS operates by detecting the

onset of wheel lockup during brake application and compensates for this

tendency. Noise from the ABS pump motor and brake pedal pulsation

may be observed during ABS braking; any pulsation or mechanical noise

you may feel or hear is normal. In addition, the ABS performs a

self-check after you start the engine and begin to drive away. A brief

mechanical noise may be heard during this test. This is normal.
