be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation. See Shifting

Engine Exhaust 0 179.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the Remote Keyless

vehicle, it will continue to run for up
to half an hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to an hour.
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.
