If You Are Caught In A Blizzard - Chevrolet 2008 Cobalt Owner's Manual

If You Are Caught in a Blizzard

If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a
serious situation. You should probably stay with your
vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help
and you can hike through the snow. Here are some things
to do to summon help and keep yourself and your
passengers safe:
•
Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
•
Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you
have been stopped by the snow.
•
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
If you do not have blankets or extra clothing, make
body insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags,
floor mats — anything you can wrap around yourself
or tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
4-24
You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
