Important Safety Precautions
Exhaust Warnings
CAUTION
• Things that can burn can
touch hot exhaust parts
under your vehicle and ignite.
Don't park over papers,
leaves, dry grass or other
things that can burn.
• Engine exhaust can kill. It
contains carbon monoxide
(CO) gas, which you can't see
or smell. It can cause uncon-
sciousness and death.

CAUTION
(Continued)
• Do not idle the engine in a
closed-in place, such as the
garage. Carbon monoxide
(CO) gas could get into your
vehicle.
• Idling the engine with the
windows closed and the air
conditioning fan off (if
equipped), may allow dan-
gerous exhaust fumes into
your vehicle.
CAUTION
(Continued)
• It can also be very dangerous
to drive with the trunk, rear
windows, hatch or rear doors
open. If you must drive with
one of these open or with
their seal broken, make sure
all other windows are closed
and turn the fan on to the
highest speed using any set-
ting that brings in outside air.
Doing this will force outside
air into the vehicle.
• Make sure that no window,
door, trunk or hatch at the
rear of the vehicle is open if
you are pulling a trailer.
