SAFETY TIPS

Transporting Passengers

NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals inside

parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo

area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of

your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat

and using a seat belt properly.

Exhaust Gas

WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you.
To avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or

in confined areas any longer than needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/

liftgate/rear doors open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed.
DO NOT use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle

with the engine running, adjust your heating
or cooling controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have
a competent mechanic inspect the complete
exhaust system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger
compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust
system each time the vehicle is raised for
lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.
