Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The engine should not be left running for a long time, since the parking garaget is poorly ventilated.
A running engine gives off exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, a toxic gas with no colour or smell. Ventilation in a closed parking garage is limited, so the gases build up and can poison the driver and other people. Therefore, avoid leaving the engine running for a long time, and switch it off right after parking. There is no need to leave the engine running to cool it down.
