Note: If the engine does not start on the first try, turn the key to the O

(off) position, wait 10 seconds and try Step 2 again. If the engine still

fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try Step 2 again,

keeping the accelerator on the floor until the engine begins to accelerate

above cranking speeds; this will allow the engine to crank with the fuel

shut off in case the engine is flooded with fuel.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

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

your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you

smell exhaust fumes.

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid

its dangerous effects.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of

time, open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating or

air conditioning to bring in fresh 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
