turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to

the engine. Consult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with
