Carbon Monoxide Hazard - Honda Accord Wagon 1995 Owner's Manual

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Your car's exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. You
should have no problem with
carbon monoxide entering the
car in normal driving if you
maintain your car properly.
Have the exhaust system
inspected for leaks whenever:
The car is raised for an oil
change.
You notice a change in the
sound of the exhaust.
The car was in an accident
that may have damaged the
underside.
Driver and Passenger Safety
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and can even
kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or
activities that expose you to
Carbon monoxide.
High levels of carbon monoxide
can collect rapidly in enclosed
areas, such as a garage. Do not
run the engine with the garage
door closed. Even with the door
open, run the engine only long
enough to move the car out of
the garage.
With the tailgate open, air flow
can pull exhaust gas into your
car's interior and create a
hazardous condition. If you must
drive with the tailgate open,
open all the windows and set the
heating and cooling system as
shown below.
If you must sit in your parked
car, even in an unconfined area,
with the engine running, adjust
the heating and cooling system
as follows:
1. Push the button.
2. Select the mode.
3. Turn the fan on high speed.
4. Set the temperature control
to a comfortable setting.
