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.

/r\

CAUTION:

Idling the engine with the climate control

system

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 “Blizzard” in the Index.)

A

CAUTION:

t can be dangerous to get out

of

your vehicle if

the shift lever is not fully in PARK

(P)

with the

parking 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 fairly

level ground, always set your parking brake and

move the shift lever to

PARK

(P).

Follow the proper steps to be sure

your

vehicle won’t

move.

See

“Shifting

Into

PARK

(P)”

in

the

Index.

If

you

are parking on

a

hill

and if you’re pulling a

trailer, also see “Towing

a

Trailer’’ in the Index.
