STARTING AND
OPERATING
VEHICLE
ENGINE EXHAUST
GAS CAUTION
(CARBON
MONOXIDE)
Avoid
inhaling exhaust gases because
they contain carbon monoxide,
which
by itself is colorless and
odorless . Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas
that can cause unconsciousness
and is potentially lethal .
If, at any time, you suspect
that exhaust fumes are entering the
Motor
Home from any source have
the cause determined and corrected
as soon
as possible . If you must drive
before the cause is corrected, drive
only with
ALL except two rear
windows FULLY open .
The best protection
against carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle body
is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system, body and
body ventilation
system . It is
recommended that the exhaust system and
body be inspected
by a competent
mechanic :
Each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication
or oil change .
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound,
alignment, or appearance of
the
exhaust system .
Whenever the exhaust system,
underbody or rear of the vehicle is
damaged .
See your "Complete Vehicle Maintenance
Schedule" for inspection pro-
cedure .
To allow proper operation
of the vehicle's ventilation system, keep front
inlet grille clear of snow, leaves,
or other obstructions at all times .
SITTING IN A PARKED
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR
AN EX-
TENDED PERIOD OF TIME
IS NOT RECOMMENDED .
Do not run engine
in confined areas such as garages any
more than
needed to
move vehicle in or out of area . When vehicle
is stopped in an
UNCONFINED
area with the engine running for any
more than a short
period
of time, adjust heating or cooling system
to force outside air into
the
vehicle as follows :
1 .
On vehicles not equipped with automotive
air conditioning, set fan to
medium or high speed and upper
control lever to any position except "OFF ."
Lower control lever should
be adjusted to any position except extreme left
"RECIRC ."
2 . On vehicles equipped
with automotive Air Conditioning, set fan to
medium or high
speed, upper control lever to any position except "OFF,"
and lower control
lever to any position except extreme left "RECIRC ."
The two
rear windows should be closed while driving to avoid drawing
dangerous
exhaust gases into the vehicle through those
openings
.
In addi-
tion,
it is recommended that roof vent(s) be closed while
driving . If,
for
some reason, a rear window or roof vent
must remain open for a period
while driving, or electrical wiring
or other cable connections to a trailer
must pass through the seal
between them and the body, the following
precautions should be
observed .
Close all windows .
Adjust heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle as
described in
Step 1 or 2 above but with fan set at high speed .
Air vents in
the instrument panel should be fully open .
It is
important that the inside engine cover be properly seated to prevent
possible
leakage of exhaust fumes into the vehicle through this opening .
