Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon 
monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
■Have the exhaust system in spected for leaks whenever
• The exhaust system is  making an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised  for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailga te open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into 
the interior and create a hazardous conditio n. If you must drive with the tailgate 
open, open all the windows and set the heating and cooling system
*/climate control 
system* as shown below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the   mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the heating and cooling system
*/climate control system* in the same manner 
if you sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running.
1 Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up 
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. 
Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the 
garage immediat ely after starting the engine.
3WARNING
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.
