Engine Coolant Heater Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant heater. In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can help. You'll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant heater is not required. Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine might not perform properly. Stopping Your Engine Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the OFF/ACCESSORY button. If the shifter is not in PARK (P), the vehicle will go into ACCESSORY mode and the DIC will display SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shifter is moved to PARK (P), the vehicle will turn off. 2-21
