[0067] Abstract [0068] A snow thawing system (10) for a parking lever mechanism (30) of a vehicle (32) includes a conduit (12) arranged in proximity to the parking lever mechanism (30) of the vehicle (32) and fluidly connectable to an exhaust pipe (18) of the vehicle to receive exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe (18). At least one flow control valve is configured to regulate flow of exhaust gases through the conduit (12). A sensor (16) is configured to detect accumulation of snow on the parking lever mechanism (30) and generate a signal based on detection of snow. A control unit (14) is operatively coupled with the sensor (16) and the at least one flow control valve, wherein the control unit (14) is configured to operate the at least one flow control valve based on the signal received from the sensor (16) to selectively allow flow of exhaust gases in the conduit (12).
