WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger
compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows.
o Never inhale exhaust gas.
Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can
cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
o Exhaust System Maintenance.
Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage
which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the
exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists.
o Confined Areas.
Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is
dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage.
o Prolonged Idling.
If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control
is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area.
o Load Carrying.
If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain
closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting.
To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be
obstructed by snow leaves etc..
