FEATURES AND CONTROLS Running the Engine While Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. WARNING It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not move. Refer to "Shifting Into PARK (P)" in this section. If you are parking on a hill and if you are pulling a trailer, also refer to "Towing a Trailer" in "Towing" in the "Driving Your Vehicle" section. Mirrors Manual Rearview Mirror When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position, adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind your vehicle. Hold the mirror in the center to move it up or down and side to side. The day/night adjustment allows you to adjust the mirror to avoid glare from the lamps behind you. Push the tab forward for daytime use and pull it for nighttime use. WARNING Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. Refer to the earlier caution under "Engine Exhaust" in this section. Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the climate control fan 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. Refer to "Winter Driving" in "Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle" in the "Driving Your Vehicle" section. Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror If the vehicle has this feature, the automatic dimming mirror automatically dims to the proper level to minimize glare at night from lights behind your vehicle. On/Off: This is the on/off button. A light near the on/off button will come on to indicate the automatic dimming is on. If the automatic dimming function is off, press and hold the on/off button for four seconds to manually turn the system back on. Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. 2-19
