SAFETY

(Continued)

Lights

Have someone observe the operation of brake

lights and exterior lights while you work the

controls. Check turn signal and high beam

indicator lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches

Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.

Fluid Leaks

Check area under the vehicle after overnight

parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or

brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should

be located and corrected immediately.

XHAUST

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the

exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be

detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside

or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an

authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust

system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit

exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger

compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust

system each time the vehicle is raised for

lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

ARBON

ONOXIDE

ARNINGS

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you

unconscious and can eventually poison you.

To avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:



Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in

confined areas any longer than needed to

move your vehicle in or out of the area.



If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift

gate/rear doors open, make sure that all

windows are closed and the climate control

BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT

use the recirculation mode.



If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with

the engine running, adjust your heating or

cooling controls to force outside air into the

vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is

deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent

carbon monoxide poisoning:



Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain

carbon monoxide, 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, outside air into the

vehicle.



Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system

inspected every time the vehicle is raised.

Have any abnormal conditions repaired

promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side

windows fully open.
