OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Exhaust Gas Warning
EXAMPLE
64MM03007
WARNING
Avoid
breathing
exhaust
gases
Exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, a potentially lethal gas that is col-
orless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
• Do not park with the engine running
for a long period of time, even in an
open area. If it is necessary to sit for
a short time in a parked vehicle with
the engine running, make sure the
air intake selector is set to the fresh
air position and the blower is at high
speed.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the tailgate or trunk open. If it is
necessary to operate the vehicle
• with the tailgate or trunk open,
make sure all windows are closed,
and the blower is at high speed
with the air intake selector set to
the fresh air position.
• To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.
