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.
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.
Warning (Continued)
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.

Running the Vehicle While

Parked

It is better not to park with the engine
running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine
running, follow the proper steps to be
sure the vehicle will not move. See
Shifting Into Park 0 249 and
Engine Exhaust 0 251.
If parking on a hill and pulling a
trailer, see Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips 0 335.
DRIVING AND OPERATING

Automatic Transmission

The shift pattern is displayed in the
top of the shift lever. The selected
gear position will illuminate red on
the shift lever, while all others will be
displayed in white. If the shift is not
immediate, as in very cold conditions,
the indicator on the shift lever may
flash until it is fully engaged.
The shift lever always starts from a
center position, represented by an up/
down arrow on the shift pattern. After
releasing the shift lever, it will return
to the center position.
The transmission does not operate
when the vehicle is off.
