Pontiac 1996 Grand Am Owner's Manual page 176

Tie a
red cloth
to
your vehicle
to alert
police that
you've been stopped by the snow.
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators
frob
newspapers, burlap bags, rags,
floor
mats
--
anything you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
. .
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This
can
cause deadly CO
(carbon
monoxide) gas
to
get
inside.
CO
could overcome
you and
kill
you. You can't see it or smell it, so you might not
know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of
your
vehicle, especially any
that
is
blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time
to
be sure snow
doesn't collect there.
Open
a
window
just a
little on the side of the
vehicle that's away from
the wind. This will help
keep CO out.
You can
sun
the engine to keen warm, but be careful.
