longer than three hours will not
harm the engine, so the heater can
be plugged in the night before

Guarding against exhaust
fumes
Although odorless and colorless,
carbon monoxide is present in
exhaust fumes. Take precautions
to avoid its dangerous effects.
If you ever smell exhaust

your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect and fix your vehicle
immediately. Do not drive if you
smell exhaust fumes. These
fumes are harmful and could kill
you.
Have the exhaust and body
ventilation systems checked
whenever:
• the vehicle is raised for service
• the sound of the exhaust system
changes
• the vehicle has been damaged in
a collision
