Extended Parking

It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running,
be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
See Shifting Into Park 0 219 and

Engine Exhaust 0 221.

If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
outside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to half an hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to an hour.
The vehicle could turn off sooner if it
is parked on a hill, due to lack of
available fuel.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is
taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
Engine Exhaust
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO), which cannot be
seen or smelled. Exposure to CO
can cause unconsciousness and
even death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
The vehicle idles in areas with
poor ventilation (parking garages,
tunnels, deep snow that may
block underbody airflow or tail
pipes).
The exhaust smells or sounds
strange or different.
The exhaust system leaks due to
corrosion or damage.
The vehicle exhaust system has
been modified, damaged,
or improperly repaired.
There are holes or openings in
the vehicle body from damage or
aftermarket modifications that
are not completely sealed.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
If unusual fumes are detected or if
it is suspected that exhaust is
coming into the vehicle:
Drive it only with the windows
completely down.
Have the vehicle repaired
immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the
engine running in an enclosed area
such as a garage or a building that
has no fresh air ventilation.
