Be sure the exhaust system does
not leak.
The exhaust system should be
checked whenever the vehicle is
raised to change the oil or for any
other purpose. If you hear a change in
the sound of the exhaust or if you drive
over something that strikes the under-
neath side of the vehicle, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as
possible by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.
WARNING- Engineexhaust
Do not inhale exhaust fumes or
leave your engine running in a
enclosed area for a prolonged
time. Exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
WARNING- Open trunk
Do not drive with the trunk
open. Poisonous exhaust gases
can enter the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with
the trunk open proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at “Fresh”, the air flow control
at “Floor” or “Face” and the
fan at the highest speed.
