Running
Mur
Engine While You're Parked
It's better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are
some things to know.
&
Idling the engine with the air system control off could allow dangerous
4 L
exhaust into your vehicle (see the earlier CAUTION under Engine
u h u s t )
.
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monox
lo)
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 bl
;ard. (See 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 running, 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
P
(Fark).
Follow -the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won't move. See the I d a
under ShiJi'ing Into
P
(Park).
'If you are parking on a hill, or if
you
re pulling
a
trailer, also
see
the I d a
under Parking on Hills or Towing a Trailer.

You can sound the horn by pressing the
horn symbols on your steering wheel.
