Running Your Engine While You’re
Parked (Automatic rnansrnission)
It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here
are
some things to know.
I CAUTION
I A Idling the engine with the air system control off could allow
A 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 Chan 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.)
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not
fully in P with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t
leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have
to.
If you’ve left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move,
even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking
brake and move the shift lever to P (Park).
If you have four-wheel drive, and you’re transfer case is in N (Neutral),
your vehicle will be free to roll, even if your shift lever is in P (Park).
So, be’ sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in N (Neutral).
Follow
the proper steps to be sure -your vehicle won? move. See
“Shifting
Into Park” in the tndex.
If you are parking on a hill, or if you’re pulling a trailer, also see
“Parking on Hills” or “Trailer Towing” in the Index.
