Your car is stuck in deep snow, and you keep the engine running for heat while you wait for help. What should you do to guard against carbon monoxide poisoning?
A blue car is stuck in deep snow, with snow piled around its rear bumper and rear wheel. The card states that the driver is waiting for help with the engine running for heat.
Correct answer: Clear the snow away from the tailpipe and open a window slightly.
Why
Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas in engine exhaust that you cannot see or smell. Drowsiness, headache, dizziness and nausea can be signs of poisoning, so get into fresh air at once and seek medical help if you notice them. Never warm up a car in a closed garage, and have holes in the exhaust system repaired right away.
