Buick Enclave: 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
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 .
WARNING
It can be dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the automatic transmission shift
lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can
roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you
have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could
be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park).
Follow the proper steps to be sure the vehicle will not move.
