Your Driving andthe Road Towing a Trailer If You're Caught in a Blizzard (CONI) Run your engine onlyas long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make itgo 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 engineoff and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine againand 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 houror so until help comes. NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this section, and see your Chevrolet dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. ...124
