Engine Exhaust

CAUTION:

Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas

carbon monoxide (CO), which you can’t 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 weren’t 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’re Parked

It’s 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.”

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

carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even

if the 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 “Blizzard” in the Index.
