To prevent electrical shock, do not use your
heater with ungrounded electrical systems

or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is
present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.

If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind
inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect

and fix your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if
you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful
and could kill you.

Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems
checked whenever:
• the vehicle is raised for service.

• the sound of the exhaust system changes.

• the vehicle has been damaged in a collision.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents, and certain vehicle components

contain or emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids
contained in vehicles and certain products of
component wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped in
an open area for long periods of time, open the
windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch).

Adjust the heating or air conditioning (if equipped)
to bring in fresh air.

Improve vehicle ventilation by keeping all air inlet
vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris.
