CAUTION:

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 can’t 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 your exhaust pipe. And check

around again from time to time to be sure snow

doesn’t collect there.

Open a window just a little on the side of the

vehicle that’s away from the wind. This will help

keep CO out.

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 (or batteries) charged. You will need a

well

-charged battery (or batteries) to restart the vehicle,

and possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps.

Let the heater run for a while.

If you have a diesel engine, you may have to run it at a

higher speed to get enough heat. 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.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle

behind another vehicle

-- such as behind a motorhome.

The two most common types of recreational vehicle towing

are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your vehicle with all

four wheels on the ground) and “dolly towing” (towing your

vehicle with two wheels on the ground and two wheels up

on a device known as a “dolly”).

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with any of

its wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,

see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

NOTICE:

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground will damage the drivetrain components.
