Extended Parking
It is best not to park with the vehicle running. If the vehicle is left running, be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
See Shifting Into Park 0 222 and Engine Exhaust 0 228.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter outside the vehicle, it will turn off after one hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will turn off after two hours.
The vehicle could turn off sooner if it is parked on a hill, due to lack of
available fuel.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
