WARNING Risk ofexhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
ga ses such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
th ese exhaust gases causes poisoning. #

WARNING Risk of skidding and of an
accident due toshifting down on slippery
ro ad sur faces
If yo u shift down on slippery road sur faces to
inc rease the engine braking ef fect, the drive
wheels may lose traction. #

DANG ER Risk of fata l injuries due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
