HONDA 2010 Insight - Manual (Page 59)

Your vehicle’s exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide should not enter the
vehicle in normal driving if you
maintain your vehicle properly and
follow the information on this page.
High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
vehicle out of the garage.
If you must sit in your parked vehicle
with the engine running, even in an
unconfined area, adjust the heating
and cooling system as follows:
The vehicle is raised for an oil
change.
Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever:
You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust.
The vehicle was in a collision that
may have damaged the underside.
Select the fresh air mode.
Select the
mode.
Set the fan speed to high.
Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.
With the hatch open, airflow can pull
exhaust gas into your vehicle’s
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
hatch open, open all the windows,
and set the climate control system as
shown below.
