STARTING
AND
OPERATING
ENGINE
EXHAUST
GAS
CAUTION
(CARBON
MONOXIDE)
Avoid breathing exhaust gases because
they contain carbon monoxide, which
by
itself has
no
color or
odor~
Carbon
monoxide is a dangerous gas.
It
can cause
unconsciousness and can be lethal.
If
at
any time you suspect
that
exhaust fumes
are entering the car, have the cause
determined and corrected as soon as
possible.
If
you must drive under these
conditions, drive only with ALL windows
fully OPEN.
Protect against carbon monoxide entry
into
the
car body. The best way
is
to
keep
the
engine exhaust system, car body
and body ventilation system properly
maintained.
It
is
recommended that the
exhaust system and body be inspected by
a competent mechanic:
• Each time the car is raised for oil
change.
• Whenever a change
is
noticed
in
the
sound of the exhaust system.
•
Whenever
the
exhaust
system,
underbody or rear
of
the car
is
damaged.
See
your Maintenance Schedule folder for
parts requiring inspection.
To allow proper operation
of
the car's
ventilation system, keep front ventilation
inlet grille clear of snow,
leaves
or other
obstruction at all times.
SITIING IN A PARKED
CAR
WITH
ENGINE RUNNING FOR A
LONG
TIME
IS
NOT
RECOMMENDED.
Do
not run engine in confined areas such as
garages any more than needed
to
move car
in
or
out
of
area. When car
is
stopped in an
UNCONFINED
area
with the engine
running for any more than a short time,
adjust heating or cooling system
to
force
outside air into
car
as follows:
1. On cars
NOT
equipped with air
conditioning, set fan
to
medium or high
speed and upper control
lever
to any
position except
"OFF".
2.
On cars equipped with air conditioning,
set
fan to medium or high speed and
upper control lever
to
any position
except
"OFF"
or "MAX".
The trunk lid should be closed while
driving to help prevent drawing exhaust
II
gases
into the car.
If
the trunk must remain
open for some reason while moving, or
if
electrical wiring
or
other cable connections
to a trailer must pass through the
seal
between trunk lid and body, these
precautions should be followed:
•
Close
all windows.
• Adjust heating or cooling system
to
force outside air into
car
as described
in
items 1 and 2 above but with fan set at
high speed.
• On cars that
have
outside air vents in or
under instrument panel, open vents
fully.
