immediately.
. Donot run theengine inclosed spaces such
as agarage.
. Do not park thevehicle withtheengine
running foranextended periodoftime.
. Keep theback doorclosed whiledriving,
otherwise exhaustgascould bedrawn into
the passenger compartment. Ifyou must
drive withtheback dooropen, follow these
precautions:
Ð Open allthe windows.
Ð Turn theairrecirculation modeoffand
set the fanspeed control tothe highest
level tocirculate theair.
. Ifaspecial bodyorother equipment is
added forrecreational orother usage, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation topre-
vent carbon monoxide entryintothevehicle.
(Some recreational vehicleappliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters,etc.may
also generate carbonmonoxide.)
