ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the
engine and permits quicker starts in cold
weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC
electrical outlet with a grounded,
three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F
(-18°C), the engine block heater is
recommended. For ambient
temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the
engine block heater is required.
The engine block heater cord is routed
under the hood, behind to the driver’s
side headlamp. Follow the steps below to
properly use the engine block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord
(access door on the passenger side wiper
cowl).
2. Pull the cord to the front of the
vehicle and plug it into a grounded,
three-wire extension cord.
3. After the vehicle is running, properly
stow away behind access door on the
passenger side wiper cowl.
Note:
The engine block heater cord is a
factory installed option. If your vehicle is
not equipped, heater cords are available
from your authorized dealer.
The engine block heater will require
110 Volts AC and 6.5 Amps to activate
the heater element.
The engine block heater must be
plugged in at least 1 hour to have a
warming effect on the engine and at
least 4 hours to have a warming effect
when ambient temperatures are below
-20 F (-29 C)
Warning!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
2.0L GME T4 Engine Break-In
For vehicles equipped with the 2.0L
GME T4, use the following engine
break-in recommendations:
Despite modern technology and World
Class Manufacturing methods, the
moving parts of the engine must still
wear in with each other. This wearing in
occurs mainly during the first 500 miles
(805 km) and continues through the first
oil change interval.
Note: A new engine may consume some
oil during its first few thousand miles
(kilometers) of operation. This should be
considered a normal part of the break-in
period and not interpreted as an
indication of a problem. Please monitor
your oil level during the break-in period
and add oil as required.
