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 can’t 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

doesn’t collect there.

Open a window just a little on the side of the

vehicle that’s 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.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four

wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,

see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

NOTICE:

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground will damage drivetrain components.
