Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
*
[ST09400( ALL)02/95]
Carbon monoxide, although colorless and

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.
*
[ST09700( E )03/95]
If your vehicle has rear windows and doors that
were installed as part of a van conversion, close
them while it is running. This prevents exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the passenger
compartment.
