Guarding against Exhaust Fumes

WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have

this checked immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell

exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take

precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

Important Ventilating Information

If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine idling for long periods of

time, we recommend that you do one of the following:

• Open the windows at least one inch (2.5 centimeters).

• Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: Failure to follow engine block heater instructions

could result in property damage or physical injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use

your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged

(cheater) adapters.

An engine block heater warms the engine coolant which aids in starting

and allows the heater/defroster system to respond quickly. If your vehicle

is equipped with this system, your equipment includes a heater element

which is installed in your engine block and a wire harness which allows

the user to connect the system to a grounded 120 volt A/C electrical

source. The block heater system is most effective when outdoor

temperatures reach below 0°F (-18°C).

Prior to using the engine block heater, follow these recommendations for

proper and safe operation:

• For your safety, use an outdoor extension cord that is product

certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards

Association (CSA). Use only an extension cord that can be used

outdoors, in cold temperatures, and is clearly marked “Suitable for Use

with Outdoor Appliances.” Never use an indoor extension cord

outdoors; it could result in an electric shock or fire hazard.

• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord, minimum.

• Use as short an extension cord as possible.
