Engine exhaust gas

AARIRNG
w
Do not inhale exhaust gases.
They contain carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that is colorless
and odorless. Inhalation of this gas
can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
Whenever you suspect that exhaust fumes
may have entered the vehicle, find out
the cause. Have the condition corrected
immediately.
If you must drive your vehicle under this
condition, drive with all side windows fully
open.
To prevent exhaust gas accident, follow the
precautions below.
Maintenance;
Always maintain the engine exhaust system,
vehicle body, and ventilation system in their
correct operating conditions. Make sure the
exhaust system has no loose connections or
holes. We recommend that the exhaust system
and vehicle body be inspected by competent
repair facilities in the following cases:
1–1
• Whenever your vehicle has its oil changed
• Whenever you notice a change in the
exhaust sound
• Whenever the exhaust system has been
damaged or corroded
• Whenever you hit an object
In addition, follow the maintenance schedule
in Section 13.
Ventilation system;
To allow the ventilation system of your vehicle
to operate properly at all times, make sure that
the air inlet ducts in front of the windshield
are always free from dust, leaves and other
obstructions.
Daily operation;
We recommend that you do not run the engine
for any extended periods of time while the
vehicle is parked or stopped.
There are possibilities that carbon monoxide
may be admitted into your vehicle due to
improperly-maintained or a damaged exhaust
system.
Do not run the engine in a garage or an
enclosed area except when required for
driving the vehicle in or out.
Make sure that foreign objects do not
accumulate around the tail pipe to prevent
exhaust gases from accumulating under the
vehicle body.

nap in the car.
This is to prevent accidentally

activating the shift lever and
depressing the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time while
napping.
This is also to prevent deadly
•
toxic gases from flowing into the
passenger compartment.
