EXHAUST GAS WARNING

EXAMPLE
WARNING
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colourless and odorless. Since car-
bon monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas,
with passengers inside. This may
result in accumulation of carbon-
monoxide in cabin and may lead to
suffocation or breathing problems
and lead to death.
• Do not park with the engine run-
ning for a long period of time, even
in an open area. In case of long
periods, danger of choking and
death on being inside the vehicle is
a possibility when the engine is
running. If it is necessary to sit for
a short time in a parked vehicle
with the engine running, make sure
the air intake lever is set to “FRESH
AIR” and the fan is at high speed.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the rear door open. If it is neces-
sary to operate the vehicle with the
rear door open, make sure all the
windows are closed, and the fan is
at high speed with the air intake
lever set to “FRESH AIR”.
• To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, leaves,
or other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.
