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 behind the front bumper and accessible through the right hole of the air dam.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
It includes a removable cap that is secured by a tethered strap. It also has a c-clip that is used for storage when not in use for the Winter months. During Winter months, remove the heater cord wiring assembly from itself on the c-clip.
The block heater will require 110 Volt AC and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.
