110 Driving
• Periodically check to make sure snow is not collecting
around the base of the vehicle. See Exhaust Fumes on
page 100 for exhaust warnings.
• Open the window about two inches (5 cm) on the side of
the vehicle that is not facing the wind to bring fresh air
into the vehicle.
• Fully open the air outlets under the instrument panel.
• Adjust the climate control system to a setting that circu-
lates the air inside the vehicle and set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See Climate Control System on page 67
for more information.
• Run the engine as little as possible to save on fuel. When
you do run the engine, run it a little faster than idle by
pushing on the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for
the heat and keeps the battery charged. You will need a
well-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possibly
for signaling with your headlamps.
• Let the heater run long enough to warm the interior of the
vehicle, then shut the engine off and close the window
almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine
again only when you feel really uncomfortable from the
cold.
