unconsciousness and death. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monox-

highly toxic gas.

the engine running, as such a vehicle
represents a potential safety hazard.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling,
always select neutral or the position P
and engage the handbrake before leav-
ing the vehicle with the engine run-
