Engine Exhaust Running Your Engine While You’re
Parked
It’s
better not to park
with
the engine running. But
if
you
ever have
to,
here are some things
to
know.
I
A
CAUTION:
Idling the engine with the air system control
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.)
