Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
Carbon monoxide, although colorless and
odorless, is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
Never idle the engine in closed areas.
Never sit in a parked or stopped
vehicle for more than a short period
of time with the engine running.
Exhaust fumes, particularly carbon
monoxide, may build up. These
fumes are harmful and could kill
you.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes of
any kind inside your vehicle, have
your dealer inspect and fix your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if
you smell exhaust fumes. These
fumes are harmful and could kill
you.
Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems
checked whenever:
your vehicle is raised for service
the sound of the exhaust system changes
your vehicle has been damaged in a collision
Improve your ventilation by keeping all air inlet
vents clear of snow, leaves, and other debris.
