Your
Driving
and
the
Road
You
can run the engine to keep warm, but
be
careful.
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 headlights. Let the
heater run for awhile.
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.
