Running Your Engine While You're Parked
(AuToMATIc 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
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 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 blizzard. (See the Index under BZizzard.)
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
P
( k k )
with the par- 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 Enirly level
ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park).
If you are parking on a hill,
also
see the Index under Parking on Hills.
