Running Your Engine While You're Parked
( A u T o M m c TRANSAXLE)
It's better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are
some things to know.
A
Idling the engine with the air system control OFF could allow dangerous
1
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 h n switch is at tne 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. ( S e e the
Index
under
Blizzard.)
It
can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don't leave
your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine ruhing, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to
J'
(Park).
.
If
you are parking on a hill, or if you're pulling a trailer, also see the Index
under Parking on Hills or Towing
a
Trailer.
