WARNING!

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.

Exhaust Gas

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing
it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:

Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined areas any longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.

WARNING!

(Continued)

If you are required to drive with the trunk/liftgate/
rear doors open, make sure that all windows are
closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set
at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode.

If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running, adjust your heating or cooling con-
trols to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the

vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust

system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust

system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the

vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is

damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the complete

exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam-

aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or

loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into

the passenger compartment. In addition, inspect the ex-

haust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication

or oil change. Replace as required.
