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  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.
