To
Use the Coolant Heater
1,
Turn
off
the engine.
2.
Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded
1
10-volt
AC
outlet.
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could overheat and cause
a
fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into
a
properly grounded three-prong
llO-volt AC outlet.
If
the cord won’t reach, use
a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at least
15
amps.
4.
Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts.
If
you don’t,
it
could
be damaged.
How long should
you
keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind
of
oil
you
have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that
you
contact
your Buick dealer in the area where you’ll be parking
your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.
