Blizzard Conditions
Being stuck in snow can be in a
serious situation. Stay with the
vehicle unless there is help nearby.
If possible, use the Roadside
Assistance Program on page 13‑6.
To get help and keep everyone in
the vehicle safe:
. Turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
. Tie a red cloth to an outside
mirror.

WARNING
Snow can trap engine exhaust
under the vehicle. This may
cause exhaust gases to get
inside. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
If the vehicle is stuck in the snow:
. Clear away snow from around
the base of your vehicle,
especially any that is blocking
the exhaust pipe.
. Check again from time to
time to be sure snow does
not collect there.

WARNING (Continued)
. Open a window about
5 cm (two inches) on the side
of the vehicle that is away
from the wind to bring in
fresh air.
. Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
. Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that
circulates the air inside the
vehicle and set the fan speed
to the highest setting.
See Climate Control System
in the Index.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see Engine
Exhaust on page 9‑23.
