• Do not operate the engine in con-

fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is

open area for more than a short
time with the engine running, adjust
the heating or cooling system (as
needed) to draw outside air into the

• Never sit in a parked or stopped

vehicle for any extended time with
