WARNING! (Continued)

If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the

engine running, adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust
system.

Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle
is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust
fumes to seep into the passenger compartment. In addi-
tion, inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The
Vehicle

Seat Belts

Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.

Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regarding belt
or retractor condition, replace the belt.
