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  headlamps.  Let the heater run for  a  while. 
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.
