Your car's exhaust contains carbon
monoxide gas.
You should have no
problem with carbon monoxide
entering the car in normal driving
if
you maintain your car properly.
Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever:
•
The
car is raised for an
oil
change.
• You notice a change
in
the sound
of
the
exhaust.
•
The
car was
in
an accident
that
may have damaged the underside.
Carbon monoxide gas
is
toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even
kill
you.
Avoid any
enclosed areas or
activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide.
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
car out of the garage.

system as shown below.
If
you must sit in your parked car,
even
in

Push the
