Engine Exhaust Gas - PERODUA Kancil Owner's Manual

Engine exhaust gas

WARNING
Do not inhale exhaust gases.
They contain carbon monoxide, a poi­
sonous gas that is colorless and odor­
less. 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 imme­
diately.
If you must drive your vehicle under this
condition, drive with all side windows fully
open.
To prevent exhaust gas accident, follow the
precautions bellow.
Maintenance;
Always maintain the engine exhaust sys­
tem, vehicle body, and ventilation system in
their correct operating conditions. Make
sure the exhaust system has no loose con­
nections or holes. We recommend that the
exhaust system and vehicle body be in­
spected 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 sche­
dule in Section 12.
Ventilation system;
To allow the ventilation system of your vehi­
cle to operate properly at all times, make
sure that the air inlet ducts in front of the
windshield are always free from leaves and
other obstructions.
Please refer to the section 6 for the air
control system guide line.
Daily operation;
We recommend that you do not run the
engine for any extended period of time
while the vehicle is parked or stopped.
There are possibilities that carbon monox­
ide may admitted into your vehicle due to
improperly-maintained or a damaged ex­
haust 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 other objects do not accu­
mulate around the tail pipe to prevent ex­
haust gases from accumulating under the
vehicle body.
WARNING
Turn off the engine when taking a nap
in the car;
• This is to prevent accidentally acti­
vating the shift lever and depress­
ing the pedal for a long period of
time while napping.
• This is also to prevent deadly toxic
gas from flowing into the passenger
compartment.
