Running Your Engine While You’re Parked
(Automatic Transmission)
It’s better not to park with the engine running. But
if
you ever have to, here
are some things to know.
I
Ch1
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.)
