{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 your 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 your 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 your 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.
