ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle
is in PARK by looking for the "P" in the
Instrument Cluster Display and near the
shifter. As an added precaution, always apply
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine,
and 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 radia-
tor, but underneath the black upper seal.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500
km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis-
tent with anticipated climate conditions un-
der which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications”.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a nor-
mal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as a problem.
