STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive

your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING: Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not use starting fluid,

for example ether, in the air intake system.
Such fluid could cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and
possible personal injury.

WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result

in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine
idling for long periods, we recommend that
you do one of the following:
•

Open the windows at least 1 in (2.5 cm).

•

Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF EQUIPPED)

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING: Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING: Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power cable
and may cause an electrical short resulting
in fire, injury and property damage.

We recommend that you do the following for
a safe and correct operation:
•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by Underwriter’s
Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). This extension cord
must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and engine block
heater cord plug connections are free
and clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.

•

If the engine block heater cord is under
the hood, do not remove the wiring from
its original location. Do not close the
hood on the extension wiring.

•

Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear
of combustible materials.

•

Firmly connect the engine block heater
cord and the extension cord.

•

Check the extension cord for heat
anywhere when the system has been
operating for approximately 30 minutes.

•

Unplug and properly stow the system
before starting and driving your vehicle.
The protective cover seals the terminals
of the engine block heater cord plug
when not in use.

•

Check the engine block heater system
for proper operation before winter.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER WORK

The engine block heater warms the engine
coolant. This allows the climate control
system to quickly respond. The equipment
includes a heater element installed in the
engine block and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded 220-240
volt AC electrical source.

202

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note: The engine block heater is most
effective when outdoor temperatures are
below 0°F (-18°C).

USING THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

Make sure the receptacle terminals are clean
and dry prior to use. Clean them with a dry
cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours of
energy per hour of use. The system does not
have a thermostat. It achieves maximum
temperature after approximately three hours
of operation. Using the engine block heater
longer than three hours does not improve
system performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity.

FUEL AND REFUELING
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel

tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.

WARNING: The fuel system may be

under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until
the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal
injury.

WARNING: Fuels can cause serious

injury or death if misused or mishandled.

WARNING: Fuel may contain

benzene, which is a cancer-causing agent.

WARNING: When refueling always

shut the engine off and never allow sparks
or open flames near the fuel tank filler
valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone
while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid
inhaling excess fumes.

WARNING: Read and follow all the

instructions on the pump island.

Follow these guidelines when refueling:
•

Extinguish all smoking materials and any
open flames before refueling your
vehicle.

•

Switch the engine off before refueling.

•

Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal
if swallowed. Fuel is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or permanent
injury. If fuel is swallowed immediately
call a physician, even if no symptoms are
immediately apparent. The toxic effects
of fuel may not be apparent for hours.

•

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel
vapor can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases, excessive
or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can
cause serious illness and permanent
injury.

•

Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If you
splash fuel in your eyes, immediately
remove contact lenses, if worn, flush with
water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention. Failure to seek proper medical
attention could lead to permanent injury.

•

Fuels can be harmful if absorbed through
the skin. If you splash fuel on your skin,
clothing or both, promptly remove
contaminated clothing and thoroughly
wash your skin with soap and water.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact
causes skin irritation.

•

Be particularly careful if you are taking
Antabuse or other forms of Disulfiram for
the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing
fuel vapors could cause an adverse
reaction, serious personal injury or
sickness. Immediately call a physician if
you experience any adverse reactions.

Fuel and Refueling

FUEL QUALITY

SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL

E161513

Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87.

Some fuel stations, particularly those in high
altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
below 87. The use of these fuels could result
in engine damage that will not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty.

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well as
other conditions, for example when towing
a trailer. See Towing a Trailer (page 349).

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact an
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal vehicle
and engine performance.

For additional information, visit

www.toptiergas.com

.

Note: Use of any fuel for which the vehicle
was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:
•

Diesel fuel.

•

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

•

Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.

•

Fuels containing methanol.

•

Fuels containing metallic-based additives,
including manganese-based compounds.

•

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

•

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl, which is a manganese-based fuel
additive, will impair engine performance and
affect the emission control system.

Fuel and Refueling

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER

WARNING: Flow of fuel through a

fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an ungrounded
fuel container:
•

Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.

•

Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).

•

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact

•

Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.

ADDING FUEL FROM A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER

WARNING: Do not insert the nozzle

of a fuel container or an aftermarket funnel
into the fuel filler neck. This may damage
the fuel system filler neck or its seal and
cause fuel to run onto the ground.

WARNING: Do not pry open the fuel

tank filler valve. This could damage the fuel
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not dispose of fuel in

the household refuse or the public sewage
