Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 (or batteries)
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.

You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set
the parking brake firmly
on each vehicle. Put an automatic transmission in “P’ (Park) or a
