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

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.
