permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect
the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical
outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension
cord.

The engine block heater cord is routed under
the hood on the passenger side of the vehicle
near the right head lamp assembly. It is located
between the front grill and the radiator, but
underneath the black upper seal.

The engine block heater cord is routed through
the grille by the right front tow hook.
