▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon
monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This
gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is colourless, odourless, and
poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death. If you
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle,
keep all windows fully open and
contact an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or
even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the
heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the
vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a
long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and
around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Fuel and Emission
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by
the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.
