the
car.
However, if for
some reason
the
trunk must remain
open
while moving, the
following precautions
should be
observed:
Close
all
windows.
Adjust heating
or cooling system
to
force outside air
into
car
with blower
set at
high speed,
and controls set
in
any position
except

"MAX."
On

The
best
protection
against
carbon mon-
oxide
entry
into the
car
body
is
a
properly
maintained
engine exhaust
system. When-
ever a change
is noticed in the
sound of
the
exhaust system,
when exhaust fumes
can
be detected inside the vehicle,
or
when the underside of the vehicle is dam-
aged, have
a competent
mechanic inspect
the
complete exhaust
system
and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged
or
mis-
positioned parts, deterioration, open seams
or
loose connections which
could permit
exhaust
fumes to
seep
into the trunk
or
passenger
compartment.
In
addition,
in-
spect
the
exhaust system each
time the
vehicle is raised for lubrication
or oil
change.
Replace
or
adjust
as
required.

coast
