PROPER CARE


It is wise to run your heater a minimum of about ten minutes each week throughout the entire year, even in hot weather. Obviously, the heater will be run for longer periods during cold weather. During hot weather, the passenger compartment temperature control can be set to medium to reduce the warming effects.

The heater must be periodically run in order to circulate the lubricant that is contained within the coolant. The lubricant protects heater system seals and valves. The seals would dry up and leak without lubricant. Because of the inherent difficulty in accessing the heating system components, especially the heater core, heater/defroster repairs should be performed by a professional automotive technician.
