Do not run the engine in closed rooms;
otherwise, the inhaling of toxic exhaust
gases can cause unconsciousness and death.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas.
Never leave an unattended vehicle with the
engine running, as such a vehicle represents a
potential safety hazard.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, always
select position P on the selector lever and
engage the parking brake before leaving the
vehicle with the engine running. Note the infor-
mation provided on the Info Display.

running while the vehicle remains stationary.

ate engine speed.
