WARNING
While the engine is running or starting it could help reduce the risk of
serious injury.
Never start or leave the engine running in poorly ventilated or closed
spaces. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a toxic, colourless and
odourless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness.
It can also cause death.
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the engine is running. The vehicle
could move off suddenly or something unexpected could happen resulting
in damage and serious injury.
Never use start boosters. Cold start sprays could explode or increase
the engine speed unexpectedly.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach very high temperatures. This
could cause a fire and considerable damage.
Always park your vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can
come in contact with flammable materials (such as wood, leaves, spilled
fuel, dried grass, etc).
Do not apply additional underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the
exhaust pipes, catalytic converter, heat shields or the diesel particulate
filter.
