Engine Exhaust Gas Warning
A properly maintained car is your best protection against exhaust
gas entering the passenger compartment.
The exhaust system should be thoroughly inspected by a com­
petent mechanic whenever:
• The car is raised for oil change.
• You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust.
• The exhaust system or the rear or underside of the car is dam­
aged.
fd'WARNING
• Avoid breathing exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause loss of con­
sciousness and eventual death. If you suspect that exhaust gas
is entering the passenger compartment, have the cause deter­
mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive only with all windows fully open.
• Do not drive with the hatch open. An open hatch may draw ex­
haust gases into the passenger compartment. If you must drive
with the hatch open, drive only with all the windows wide open.
• Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as garages, any
longer than necessary to move the car in or out.
• If you must sit in a parked car with the engine running for more
than a short time, adjust the heating/ventilation system:
1. Push the HI-LO and FRESH buttons on.
2. Set the temperature lever for best comfort.
3. Turn the fan to the highest speed.
NOTE: To insure proper operation of the car's ventilation system,
keep the front inlet grille clear of snow, mud, leaves or other
obstructions.
