WARNING (Continued)
If the vehicle is stuck in the snow:
. Clear away snow from around
the base of your vehicle,
especially any that is blocking
the exhaust pipe.
. Check again from time to
time to be sure snow does
not collect there.
. Open a window about
5 cm (2 in) on the side of
the vehicle that is away from
the wind to bring in fresh air.
. Fully open the air outlets
on or under the instrument
panel.
. Adjust the climate control
system to a setting that
circulates the air inside
the vehicle and set the fan
speed to the highest setting.
See Climate Control System
in the Index.

WARNING (Continued)
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see
Engine
Exhaust on page 9 ‑ 28 .
Snow can trap exhaust gases
under your vehicle. This can
cause deadly CO (Carbon
Monoxide) gas to get inside.
CO could overcome you and kill
you. You cannot see it or smell it,
so you might not know it is in your
vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle,
especially any that is blocking the
exhaust.
Run the engine for short periods
only as needed to keep warm,
but be careful.
To save fuel, run the engine for only
short periods as needed to warm
the vehicle and then shut the engine
off and close the window most of
the way to save heat. Repeat this
until help arrives but only when you
feel really uncomfortable from the
cold. Moving about to keep warm
also helps.
If it takes some time for help to
arrive, now and then when you run
the engine, push the accelerator
pedal slightly so the engine runs
faster than the idle speed. This
keeps the battery charged to restart
the vehicle and to signal for help
with the headlamps. Do this as little
as possible to save fuel.
