WARNING

. Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration 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.

. Properly secure all cargo with ropes

or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is

dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows 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 back door closed while

driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the back door open, follow these
precautions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the

air recirculation to off

and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.

. If electrical wiring or other cable

connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the back door or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.

. If a special body, camper or other

equipment is added for recreational
or other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle
appliances such as stoves, refrig-
erators, heaters, etc. may also gen-
erate carbon monoxide.)

. The exhaust system and body

should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:

— The vehicle is raised for service.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

— You notice a change in the

sound of the exhaust system.

— You have had an accident invol-

ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, 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.
