{CAUTION:

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 cannot 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 the exhaust pipe. And check around

again from time to time to be sure snow does

not collect there.

Open a window just a little on the side of the

vehicle that is away from the wind. This will

help keep CO out.

Run the engine only as long as you must. This saves

fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster

than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.

This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps

the battery charged. You will need a well-charged

battery to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling

later on with the headlamps. Let the heater run for

a while.

Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost

all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine

again and repeat this only when you feel really

uncomfortable from the cold. But do it as little as

possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you can.

To help keep warm, you can get out of the vehicle and

do some fairly vigorous exercises every half hour or

so until help comes.
