WARNING
Snow can trap engine exhaust
under the vehicle. This may
cause exhaust gases to get
inside. Engine exhaust contains
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.
WARNING (Continued)
If the vehicle is stuck in the snow:
Clear away snow from around
the base of your vehicle,
especially any that is blocking
the exhaust pipe.
Check again from time to
time to be sure snow does
not collect there.
Open a window about 5 cm
(2 in) on the side of the
vehicle that is away from the
wind to bring in fresh air.
Fully open the air outlets
on or under the instrument
panel.

you. You cannot see it or smell
