dows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.

of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath
side of the vehicle, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible
by an authorized Dealer of Genesis Brand Products.

the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at
"Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

air intakes located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or
other obstructions.
