Running the Vehicle While Parked

OIE-ID = 837268 Owner = ntanne01 LMD = 12-mar-2003 LMB = drosek01
It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you
ever have to, here are some things to know.
CAUTION:
{
Idling the engine with the climate control
system off could allow dangerous exhaust into
your vehicle. See the earlier caution under
Engine Exhaust on page 107.
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly
carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if
the climate control fan 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.
Also see "If You Are Caught in a Blizzard"
under Winter Driving on page 221.

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle
if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with
the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can
roll. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine
is running unless you have to. If you have left
the engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be injured. To
be sure your vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground, always set the
parking brake and move the shift lever to
PARK (P).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not
move. See Shifting Into PARK (P) (Automatic
Transmission) on page 105.
If you are parking on a hill and if you are pulling a
trailer, also see Towing a Trailer on page 234.
