Trunk
Lid
Tie Down
III
Driving with the trbIId lid open can allow
dangerous CO (carbon monoxide) gas to come
into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell CO.
It
can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If
you ever need to drive with your trunk lid
open, then:
Make sure all windows, the rear seat
pass-through and sunroof are closed.
Turn the fan on your heating and cooling
system to
its
highest speed, with the
setting on AUTO and temperature between
65°F
(18°C) and 85°F (29°C). This forces
fresh outside air into your vehicle.
Open
all
air ducts on the instrument panel.
Don’t use the trunk lid tie down if you are
towing a trailer because of the danger of CO.
