Your vehicle’s exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide should not enter the
vehicle in normal driving if you
maintain your vehicle properly and
follow the information on this page.

High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
vehicle out of the garage.

Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever:

The vehicle is raised for an oil
change.

You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust.

The vehicle was in a crash that
may have damaged the underside.

With a truck cap installed and the
back window open, engine exhaust
may enter the vehicle and cause a
hazardous condition. Keep the back
window tightly closed whenever you
drive with a truck cap installed.

If you must sit in your parked vehicle
with the engine running, even in an
unconfined area, adjust the heating
and cooling system/climate control
system as follows:

Select the fresh air mode.
Select the

mode.

Turn the fan on high speed.
Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.
