Carbon Monoxide Warnings
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly.
Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon mon-
oxide poisoning:
•
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon mon-
oxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill. Never
run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for

an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open
area with the engine running for more than a short
period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh,

vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side windows
fully open.
