Parking over Things That Burn

Warning
Things that can burn could touch hot
exhaust parts under the vehicle and
ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves,
dry grass, or other things that can burn.

Engine Exhaust

Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO) which cannot be seen or smelled.
Exposure to CO can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
The vehicle idles in areas with poor
ventilation (parking garages, tunnels,
deep snow that may block underbody
airflow or tail pipes).
The exhaust smells or sounds strange
or different.
The exhaust system leaks due to
corrosion or damage.
Warning (Continued)
The vehicle exhaust system has been
modified, damaged, or improperly
repaired.
There are holes or openings in the
vehicle body from damage or
aftermarket modifications that are not
completely sealed.
If unusual fumes are detected or if it
is suspected that exhaust is coming
into the vehicle:
Drive it only with the windows
completely down.
Have the vehicle repaired immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the engine
running in an enclosed area such as a
garage or a building that has no fresh
air ventilation.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter reduces the amount
of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.
