Engine Exhaust

{CAUTION:

Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas

carbon monoxide (CO), which you cannot see or

smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death.

You might have exhaust coming in if:

• Your exhaust system sounds strange or

different.

• Your vehicle gets rusty underneath.

• Your vehicle was damaged in a collision.

• Your vehicle was damaged when driving

over high points on the road or over road

debris.

• Repairs were not done correctly.

• Your vehicle or exhaust system had been

modiﬁed improperly.

If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your

vehicle:

• Drive it only with all the windows down to

blow out any CO; and

• Have your vehicle ﬁxed immediately.

Running Your Engine While You

Are Parked

It is better not to park with the engine running. But if

you ever have to, here are some things to know.

{CAUTION:

Idling the engine with the climate control

system off could allow dangerous exhaust into

your vehicle. See the earlier caution under

Engine Exhaust on page 2-54.

Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly

carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even

if the climate control fan is at the highest

setting. One place this can happen is a garage.

Exhaust — with CO — can come in easily.

NEVER park in a garage with the engine

running.

Another closed-in place can be a blizzard.

See Winter Driving on page 4-44.
