[QUOTE="Cobravenomous, post: 185750, member: 4592"] I have my Z06 stored in my heated garage (68 degrees) with fuel stabilizer, the Corvette battery tender plugged in and it's indoor factory cover on. I start the car once every month at 28-30 day intervals and run it for about 25 minutes to ensure that it gets up to full operating temperature then I shut it down and cover it back up. Yesterday I started it and for some reason it automatically shut off. I left the car cover partially on in that the car remained covered from the windshield forward covering the engine. As well when stored I used the sweater sleeve approach running the tender cord through the sleeve of a sweatshirt with the rear hatch partly ajar. When I ran the car yesterday I unplugged the battery tender as instructed from the cars rear recepticle however I also left the rear hatch completely open. My question is, is there a safety aspect to the car that recognizes the rear hatch being open and shuts off the car to prevent possible CO exposture for someone idling the car while inside with the hatch open?
