1996 Buick Park Avenue Owner's Manual

~ __Run your engine only as long as you must. This savesfuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little fasterthan just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. Thisuses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps thebattery charged. You will need a well-charged battery torestart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later onwith your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.Then, shut the engine off and close the window almostall the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine againand repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortablefrom the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve thefuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can getout of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercisesevery half hour or so until help comes.Loading Your VehicleymTIRE-LOADING INFORMATIONOCCUPANTS VEHICLE CAP.
