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.

INFORMATION
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
is inside the trunk lid. The label tells you the proper size,
speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires
on
your vehicle. It also gives you important
information about the number of people that can
be
in
your vehicle and the total weight you can carry. This
weight
is
called the vehicle capacity weight and includes
the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
