CAUTION

'
Idling the engine with the air
system control OFF could
allow dangerous exhaust into your
vehicle (see the earlier CAUTION
under Engine Exhaust).
Also, idling in a closed-in place can
let deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
into your vehicle even if the fan
switch is at the highest setting. One
place this
can
happen is a garage.
Exhaust-with CO-can come in
easily. Never park in a garage with
the engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a
blizzard. (See the Index under
Blizzard.
