Guarding against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING:
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
this checked immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine idling for long periods of
time, we recommend that you do one of the following:
•
Open the windows at least one inch (2.5 centimeters).
•
Set your climate control to outside air.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
Failure to follow engine block heater instructions
could result in property damage or physical injury.
WARNING:
Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical
systems or two-pronged (cheater) 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 allows
the climate control system to respond quickly. The equipment includes a
heater element (installed in the engine block) and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded 120 volt A/C electrical source.
