COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Engine Block Heater)
Engine Block Heater
•To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit
engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than –22° F (–30° C) and the oil
temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not been used.An
externally-powered electric engine block heater is available as optional equipment or from your
authorized dealer.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is shut off as a reminder to
avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
If Engine Fails To Start
CAUTION!
•Use of the recommended SAE 5W-30 oil and adhering to the prescribed oil change
intervals is important to prevent engine damage and ensure satisfactory starting in
cold conditions.
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.Vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
• To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more
than 15 seconds at a time.Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in
an attempt to start the vehicle.This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
