odorless, is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

[ST09500( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not start your vehicle in a closed
garage or other enclosed area. Never sit in
a stopped vehicle for more than a short
period of time with the engine running.
Exhaust fumes are toxic. SeeGuarding
Against Exhaust Fumesin this chapter for
more instructions.

[ST09600( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you
smell exhaust fumes.
[ST09800(B )06/92]
Make sure your Bronco's tailgate window is
closed when your truck is running to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn in. If you must
have the tailgate window open, adjust your air
control system to force outside air into the front
of your truck. If your Bronco has outside air
control vents, open them fully.
