Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION
"
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.
It contains carbon monoxide, which
is a colorless and odorless gas. It
can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
"
Make sure the exhaust system has
no holes or loose connections. The
system should be checked
time to time. If you hit something,
or notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust, have the
checked immediately.
"
Do not run the engine in a garage
or enclosed area except for the
time needed to drive the vehicle in
or out. The exhaust gases cannot
escape, making this a particularly
dangerous situation.
"
Do not remain for a long time in a
parked vehicle with the engine run-
ning. If it is unavoidable, however,
do so only in an unconfined area
and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
vehicle.

"
Keep the back door and quarter
windows closed while driving. An
open or unsealed back door and
quarter windows may cause exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
"
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-
from er obstructions.
"
If you smell exhaust fumes in the
vehicle, drive with
system
open and the back door closed.
Have the cause immediately located
and corrected.
