Exhaust Gas Fumes - Jayco SENECA PRESTIGE 2023 Owner's Manual

Exhaust Gas Fumes

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is
a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless.
If you are in a parked motor home with either the engine running or a
generator running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into
the motor home.
To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow these precautions:
Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than
needed to move your motor home in or out of the area.
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped)
to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the motor home.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the passenger compartment, have
the cause determined and corrected as soon as possible.
If you must drive under these circumstances, close all the windows, and adjust the heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the motor home (set the blower on high speed).
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the motor home is a properly main-
tained ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper
operation of the motor home ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of
snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times.
Maintenance
It is recommended that the exhaust system and vehicle body be inspected by a qualified mo-
tor home service center:
Each time the engine is ready for an oil change.
Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust is noticed.
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
For more information refer to your Chassis Guide.
