The first step to serving the coolant reservoir is to unlink the hose from the radiator filler neck and remove the coolant recovery bottle. To install, move the tabs on the overflow bottle into the proper locations in the fan shroud, attach the overflow hose to the radiator filler neck and place fluid into the reservoir/overflow bottle. The engine block heater runs on standard household electricity (110 Volt AC) using a power connector and cord found in the engine compartment which are inserted into a hole in the engine block's core, while the heating element is submerged in coolant. Clip the power cord securely into its retainer ring and do not let it touch linkages or
Exhaust Manifolds so it does not get damaged. When electricity is supplied, the block heater element which is submerged in coolant, sends heat throughout the engine, supporting easy starting and faster warming in very cold weather. For these models, empty the coolant system, elevate the car on a hoist, disconnect the power cord from the heater and then loosen the heater's central screw and remove the heater. To install the 2.4L engine, start by washing the core hole and seat for the heater, next, use the element rope to place the heater assembly above, attach the hose from the heater to the vehicle's power cord, secure the center screw of the unit and leave it loose, then take the car down so it sits properly and finally add the refrigerant to the cooling system. The process to install the 3.7L system is the same, making certain the power cord is safely held and does not touch any linkages or the exhaust manifold.
