Engine Exhaust

WARNING
Engine exhaust can kill. It contains
the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which
you can't see or smell. It can cause
unconsciousness and death.
You might have exhaust coming in if:
• Your exhaust
strange or different.
• Your vehicle gets rusty under-
neath.
• Your vehicle was damaged in a col-
lision.
• Your vehicle was damaged when
driving over high points on the
road or over road debris.
• Repairs weren't done correctly.
• Your vehicle or exhaust system
had been modified improperly.
If you ever suspect exhaust is com-
ing into your vehicle:
• Drive it only with all the windows
down to blow out any CO; and
• Have your vehicle fixed immedi-
ately.

Running Your Engine While You
Are Parked
It's better not to park with the engine run-
ning. But if you ever have to, here are
some things to know.
Idling the engine with the climate
system sounds
control system off could allow dan-
gerous exhaust into your vehicle.
See
"Engine Exhaust."
Also, idling in a closed-in place can
let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into
your vehicle even if the climate con-
trol fan is at the highest setting. One
place this can happen is a garage.
Exhaust – with CO – can come in eas-
ily. NEVER park in a garage with the
engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a bliz-
zard. See "Winter Driving" in the
Index.

WARNING
the earlier Warning under
WARNING
It is dangerous to get out of your
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P) or the appropriate position
with the parking brake firmly set.
Your vehicle can roll. To determine
the appropriate position, see "Park-
ing Your Vehicle". Don't leave your
vehicle when the engine is running
unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle won't
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking
brake and move the shift lever to
PARK (P) or the appropriate position
as described under "Parking Your
Vehicle".
Follow the proper steps to be sure your
vehicle won't move. See "Shifting Into Park
(P)" or "Parking Your Vehicle (Manual
Transmission)" in this section.
