Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault

Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.

by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
