WARNING

¼ 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 opera-
tion 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.

¼ Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con-

tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous.
It can cause unconsciousness or death.

¼ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.

¼ Do not run the engine in closed

spaces such as a garage.

¼ Do not park the vehicle with the en-

gine running for any extended length
of time.

¼ Keep the back door closed while driv-

ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
back door open, follow these precau-
tions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the air recirculation switch

OFF and the fan control at 4 (high)
to circulate the air.

¼ If electrical wiring or other cable con-

nections 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.

¼ If a special body or other equipment

is added for recreational or other
usage, follow the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appli-
ances such as stoves, refrigerator,
heaters, etc. may also generate car-
bon monoxide.)

¼ The exhaust system and body should

be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.

b. You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

c. You notice a change in the sound

of the exhaust system.
