Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes

WARNING

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by your authorized dealer

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 the leave the

engine idling for long periods of time, we

recommend that you do one of the

following:

• Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5

centimeters)

• Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater

instructions could result in property

damage or serious personal injury.

Do not use your heater with

ungrounded electrical systems or

two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.

Note: The heater is most effective when

outdoor temperatures are below 0°F

(-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by

warming the engine coolant. This allows

the climate control system to respond

quickly. The equipment includes a heater

element (installed in the engine block) and

a wire harness. You can connect the

system to a grounded 120-volt AC

electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following

for a safe and correct operation:

• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord

that is product certified by

Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or

Canadian Standards Association

(CSA). This extension cord must be

suitable for use outdoors, in cold

temperatures, and be clearly marked

Suitable for Use with Outdoor

Appliances. Do not use an indoor

extension cord outdoors. This could

result in an electric shock or become a

fire hazard.

• Use as short an extension cord as

possible.

• Do not use multiple extension cords.

• Make sure that when in operation, the

extension cord plug and heater cord

plug connections are free and clear of

water. This could cause an electric

shock or fire.

• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a

clean area, clear of combustibles.

• Make sure the heater, heater cord and

extension cord are firmly connected.

• Check for heat anywhere in the

electrical hookup once the system has

been operating for approximately 30

minutes.
