62make your vehicle move slightly faster than its
normal idle speed. It should, however, slow
down after a short time. If it does not, have the
idle speed checked.
*
[ST07350( ALL)06/95]
If the engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, do not allow your vehicle to idle
for more than 10 minutes. Have the vehicle
checked.
*
[ST07400( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Extended idling at high engine speeds can
produce very high temperatures in the
engine and exhaust system, creating the
risk of fire or other damage.
*
[ST07450( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in
dry grass or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which
can start a fire.
*
[ST07500(BEF )03/95]
If you consistently start your vehicle in subzero
temperatures, use an engine block heater (if
your vehicle has this option).

[ST07600(BEF )06/95]
Engine Block Heater (If equipped)
*
[ST07700(BEF )03/95]
Engine block heaters are strongly recommended
if you live in a region where temperatures reach
-10ÊF (-23ÊC) orbelow. An engine block heater
warms the engine coolant, which improves
starting, warms up the engine faster, and allows
the heater-defrost system to respond quickly.
*
[ST08000(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
To prevent electrical shock, do not use
your heater with ungrounded electrical
systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.

For best results, plug the heater in at least three
hours before you start your vehicle. Using the
heater for longer than three hours will not
damage the engine, so you can plug it in at
night to start your vehicle the following
morning.

[IP04020( E )03/93]
If your vehicle is equipped with a factory
installed auxiliary unit (heater or heater/air
conditioner), the front control assembly will
include separate switches for FRONT and REAR
fan control. Fan speed for front and rear systems
can be set as desired by adjusting these switches.
[IP04050( E )03/93]
In addition, on vehicles equipped with auxiliary
A/C, an auxiliary unit fan switch is located in
the headliner at a location between the front and
rear seats.
[IP04055( E )03/93]
q
To control the auxiliary fan with this switch,
the rear fan switch on the front control must
be in the REAR CONTROL position.
[IP04060( E )03/93]
NOTE: The air flow from the auxiliary unit is
discharged from the headliner
registers (if so equipped) or the A/C
register (untrimmed vehicles) when
front control selector is in MAX A/C,
NORM A/C and VENT only, and from
floor registers when front control is in
FLOOR FLR/DEF and DEF only.
[IP04065( E )03/93]
q
The auxiliary unit does not provide for
mixing of hot and cold air; adjustment of
temperature in the rear may be accomplished
by increasing or decreasing the rear fan
speed.
