WARNING

Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation 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 to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.

If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows 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 rear vent windows, liftgates,

doors and trunk lids (if so equipped)
closed while driving, otherwise exhaust
gases could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must drive with
one

of

these

open,

follow

these

precautions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Turn the air recirculation mode off

and set the fan speed control to the
highest level to circulate the air.

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.

d. You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, 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.

WARNING

The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-

tem are very hot. Keep people, animals
or flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
