open all the windows and set the 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 climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your parked
vehicle with the engine running. 1 Carbon Monoxide Gas

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
