Running the Vehicle 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:

Exiting the vehicle, without first shifting into
P (Park), may cause the vehicle to move, and you
or others can be seriously injured. Because the
vehicle has the Automatic Engine Start/Stop
feature, the vehicle’s engine might seem to be
shut off when you come to a complete stop.
However, once the brake pedal is released, the
vehicle can move. The vehicle’s engine can also
restart at any time.

Shift to P (Park) and turn the ignition to
LOCK/OFF, before exiting the vehicle.

{

WARNING:

Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with poor
ventilation is dangerous. Engine exhaust may
enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area that has
no fresh air ventilation. For more information, see
Engine Exhaust on page 3-33.

Follow the proper steps to be sure the vehicle will not
move. See Shifting Into Park on page 3-30.
