Exhaust Gas

• Do not run the engine in a closed garage or confined area any longer than needed to enter or leave the area.
• If you must drive with the liftgate/trunk/rear doors open, make sure all windows are closed and set the climate control FAN switch to high speed. Do NOT use the recirculation mode.
• If you must sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust the heating or cooling controls to draw outside air into the vehicle. Set the fan to high speed.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entering the vehicle body is proper maintenance of the engine exhaust system.

Whenever you notice a change in the exhaust system sound, when exhaust smoke can be detected inside the vehicle, or when the underbody or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an authorized dealer inspect the entire exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or incorrectly positioned parts. Open seams or loose connections may allow exhaust gases to enter the passenger compartment. Also, inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as necessary.
