ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine
and permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC elec
-
trical outlet with a grounded, three-wire exten -
sion cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C),
the engine block heater is recommended. For
ambient temperatures below -20°F (-29°C),
the engine block heater is required.
Follow the steps below to properly use the
engine block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord
(access door on the passenger side wiper
cowl).
2. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and
plug it into a grounded, three-wire exten -
sion cord.
3. After the vehicle is running, properly stow
the cord away behind the access door on
the passenger side wiper cowl.
NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory
installed option. If your vehicle is not
equipped, heater cords are available from
an authorized dealer.

The engine block heater will require 110 Volts
AC and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater
element.

The engine block heater must be plugged in
at least one hour to have a warming effect
on the engine and at least four hours to
have a warming effect when ambient
temperatures are below -20°F (-29°C).
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
Engine Break-In
For both engines, use the following engine
break-in recommendations:
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera -
tion. This should be considered a normal part
of the break-in period and not interpreted as
an indication of a problem. Please monitor
your oil level during the break-in period and
add oil as required.
It is recommended for the operator to observe
the following driving behaviors during the new
vehicle break-in period:
0 to 100 miles (0 to 160 km):

Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for
an extended period of time.

Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera -
tion.

Avoid aggressive braking.

Drive with the engine speed less than
3,500 RPM.

Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph
(88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
100 to 300 miles (160 to 483 km):

Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera -
tion in lower gears (FIRST to THIRD gears).

Avoid aggressive braking.

Drive with the engine speed less than
5,000 RPM.

Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph
(112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):

Exercise the full engine RPM range, shifting
manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher
RPM when possible.

Do not perform sustained operation with
the accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.

Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph
(136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
