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 from your authorized dealer or may be standard equipment
in some markets.
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.
CAUTION!
Use of the recommended SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil and adhering to the
prescribed oil change intervals is important to prevent engine damage and ensure
satisfactory starting in cold conditions.
If Engine Fails To Start
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.
CAUTION!
• 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.
