Extreme Cold Weather
The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the
engine. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
Its use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F. It should be
used when the vehicle has not been running overnight or longer periods and should
be plugged in two hours prior to start. Its use is required for cold starts with
temperatures under -20°F.
A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is
controlled by a built-in thermostat.
A Diesel Pre-Heat system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount of
white smoke generated by a warming engine.
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not
equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized Mopar dealer.
Winter Front Usage
A winter front or cold weather cover is to
be used in ambient temperatures below
32°F (0°C), especially during extended
idle conditions. This cover is equipped
with four flaps for managing total grille
opening in varying ambient tempera-
tures. If a winter front or cold weather
cover is to be used the flaps should be in
the full open position to allow air flow to
the charge air cooler and automatic
transmission oil cooler. When ambient
temperatures drop below 0°F (-17°C) the
four flaps need to be closed. A suitable
cold weather cover is available from your
Mopar dealer.
