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.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and 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.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
With the trunk lid open, air flow can
pull exhaust gas into your vehicle's
interior and create a hazardous
condition.
If you must drive with the
trunk lid 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 w mode.
3. Turn the fan on high speed.
4. Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.

the passenger's window. With this
switch off,
the passenger's window
cannot
be raised or lowered. The
MAIN switch does not affect the
driver's window. Keep
the MAIN
switch off when you have a child in
the car so the child does not
get
injured by operating the window
unintentionally.

will fold back. Release the ROOF
switch when the roof is retracted
completely into the
rear shelf.
NOTICE
