WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE
"Avoid inhaling exhaust gases when any concentration of these are
present in the air, i.e., in a garage, in congested traffic, or when
stopped closely behind a vehicle with its motor running. Exhaust
gases may have strong odors which normally should give warning
of their presence. However, the exhaust gases from some vehicles
may not be so noticeable under certain conditions and the senses
of people react differently . Exhaust gases contain a percentage of
carbcn monoxide which is a poisonous gas that, by itself, is tasteless,
colorless, and odorless": .
CAUTION TO STATION WAGON OWNERS
Station Wagons operated with the tail gates open have a tendency
to pull exhaust gases into the car. Whenever it is necessary to operate
a Station Wagon in this manner the car should be well ventilated.
This can be a ccomplished by opening the ventilators and windows.
