Engines are more difficult to start when the ambient temperature is very low. In geographical areas where temperatures below 14°F (-10°C) are experienced frequently, it is advisable to fit an engine pre-heater. The pre-heater has an insulated connector at the front of the vehicle, which is connected to the main supply using a suitable extension cable. The pre-heater can remain in use overnight if required. Typically, an engine pre-heater uses between 0.4 and 1 kWh. For further information, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
