Running the Vehicle
While Parked
It is better not to park with the
propulsion system on. But if you
ever have to, here are some things
to know.
WARNING
Leaving the engine running
in Extended Range Mode
in an enclosed area with poor
ventilation is dangerous. Engine
exhaust may enter the vehicle.
Engine exhaust contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which cannot be
seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even
death. Never run the engine
in an enclosed area that has no
fresh air ventilation. For more
information, see Engine Exhaust
on page 9 30.
