Running Your Engine While You're Parked (AuTowmc TRANSAXLE)
It's better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are
some things
to lmow.

Idling the engine with the air system control OFF could allow dangerous
exhaust into your vehicle (see the earlier CAUTION under Engine
Exhaust).
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxiile (GO) into your
vehicle even if the h switch is at the highest setting. One place this can
happen is a garage. Exhaust-with CO-can come in easily. NEVER park in a
, garage with the engine running.
' Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. (See the Index under Blizzard.)
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
P (Park) 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,
dways set your parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park).
If you are parking on a hill, or if you're pulling a trailer, also see the Index
11 under Parkina on Hills or Towinn a Trailer.

you know at

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. If you can see a
sign up ahead that might indicate a
turn or an intersection, delay your
pass.
A broken center line usually
indicates it’s all right to pass
(providing the road ahead is clear).
Never cross a solid line on your side
of the lane or
a double solid line, even
if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
If you suspect that the driver of the
vehicle you want to pass isn’t aware
of your presence, tap the horn
a
couple of times before passing.
Do not get too close to the vehicle
you want to pass while you’re
awaiting an opportunity. For one
thing, following too closely reduces
your area of vision, especially if you’re
following a larger vehicle.
Also, you
won’t have adequate space
if the
vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable
distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is
coming up, start to accelerate but stay
in the right lane and don’t get too
close. Time your move
so you will be
increasing speed as the time comes to
move into the other lane. If the way is
clear to pass, you will have a “running
start” that more than makes up for
the distance you would lose by
dropping back. And
if something
happens to cause you to cancel your
pass, you need
only slow down and
drop back again and wait for another
opportunity.

far enough ahead of the passed
vehicle to see its front in your inside
mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right
lane. (Remember that your right

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine course you want to respect another’s
property, but you might need to put
something between you and moving
vehicles-space, trees, telephone poles,
a private driveway, anything that
removes you from other traffic.
If visibility
is near zero and you must
stop but are unsure whether you are
away from the road, turn your hghts on,
start your hazard warning flashers, and
sound your horn at intervals or when
you hear approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog only if you
can see far enough ahead to pass safely.
Even then, be prepared to delay your
pass if you suspect the fog
is worse up
ahead.
If other vehicles try to pass you,
make it easy for them.
Cify Driving
One of the biggest problems with city
streets is the amount of traffic on them.
You’ll want to watch
out for what the
other drivers are doing and pay
attention to traf€ic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in
city driving:
Know the best way to get to where
you are going.
Try not to drive around
trying to pick out a familiar street or
landmark. Get
a city map and plan
your trip into an unlmown part of the
city
just as you would for a cross-
country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and
crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next
section,
Freway Driving.)
Treat a green light as a warning
signal.
A traffic light is there because
the corner is busy enough to need
it.
When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both
ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be
running the red light.
Obey all posted speed limits. But
remember that they are for ideal road,
weather and visibility conditions.
You
may need to drive below the posted
limit in bad weather or when visibility
is especially poor.
Pull to the right (with care) and stop
clear of intersections when you see or
hear emergency vehicles.
