Chevrolet Silverado: Engine Exhaust / Running the Vehicle While Parked
It is better not to park with the engine running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine running, follow the proper steps to be
sure the vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park and Engine Exhaust.
If parking on a hill and pulling a trailer, see Driving Characteristics and Towing
Tips.
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which cannot be seen or smelled.
Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
The vehicle idles in areas with poor ventilation (parking garages,
tunnels, deep snow that may block underbody airflow or tail pipes)...
Other information:
Skidding
There are three types of skids that correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
Braking Skid — wheels are not rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid — too much speed or steering in a curve causes
tires to slip and lose cornering force...
Warning
You can lose control when towing a trailer if the correct equipment is
not used or the vehicle is not driven properly. For example, if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are inadequate for the load, the vehicle may not stop
as expected...
