WARNING

Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assistance

of others alone in your vehicle. Pets

should also not be left alone. They

could accidentally injure themselves or

others through inadvertent operation of

the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,

temperatures in a closed vehicle could

quickly become high enough to cause

severe or possibly fatal injuries to

people or animals.

Closely supervise children when they

are around cars to prevent them from

playing and becoming locked in the

trunk where they could be seriously in-

jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear

seatback and trunk lid securely latched

when not in use, and prevent children’s

access to car keys.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless carbon

monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-

ous. It can cause unconsciousness or

death.

If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all win-

dows fully open, and have the vehicle

inspected immediately.

Do not run the engine in closed spaces

such as a garage.

Do not park the vehicle with the engine

running for any extended length of time.

Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,

otherwise exhaust gases could be

drawn into the passenger compart-

ment. If you must drive with the trunk lid

open, follow these precautions:

1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the

air recirculation but-

ton to off and the fan control dial to

high to circulate the air.

If electrical wiring or other cable con-

nections must pass to a trailer through

the seal on the trunk lid or the body,

follow the manufacturer’s recommen-

dation to prevent carbon monoxide en-

try into the vehicle.

The exhaust system and body should be

inspected by a qualified mechanic

whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering

into

the

passenger

compartment.

c. You notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust system.

d. You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system, un-

derbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission control

device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust

gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at

high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-

tem are very hot. Keep people, animals

or flammable materials away from the

exhaust system components.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass,

waste paper or rags. They may ignite

and cause a fire.
