WARNING

  • Avoid breathing exhaust gas, as it contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless substance.

Carbon monoxide is a hazardous product that can cause fainting and may even result in death.

  • If you believe exhaust gas is entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open and have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
  • Do not run the engine in an enclosed area such as a garage.
  • Do not park your vehicle with the engine running, regardless of how long you will be away.
  • Keep the rear quarter vents, liftgate, doors and trunk lid (if so equipped) closed while driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering the passenger compartment. If you must drive with any of these items open, take the following precautions:
    1. Open all windows.
    2. Turn the recirculation air button la position d'arrêt et la to the off position and the fan control to the high speed position to circulate air.
    • If you must route electrical wiring or other trailer connections through the trunk lid seal or body, follow the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the vehicle.
    • The exhaust system and body must be inspected by a qualified technician when:
    1. the vehicle is raised for maintenance;
    2. you believe exhaust gas is entering the passenger compartment;
    3. you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system;
    4. the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle has been damaged as a result of an accident.
