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.
• The vehicle's exhaust system
has been modified, damaged
or improperly repaired.
(Continued)
{
WARNING (Continued)
• There are holes or openings in
the vehicle body from damage
or after-market 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.
