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 soundof the exhaust.
The car was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.
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 thecar 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 windowsand set the heating and cooling
system as follows. 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.
