8.2.1. Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)

image
  • Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains colourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.

  • If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows 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 an extended period of time.

  • Keep the back door closed while driving, otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive with the back door open, follow these precautions:

    • Open all the windows.

    • Turn the air recirculation mode off and set the fan speed control to the highest level to circulate the air.

  • If a special body or other equipment is added for recreational or other usage, follow the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also generate carbon monoxide.)

  • If electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the back door or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.

  • The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:

    • Your vehicle is raised while being serviced.

    • You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment.

    • You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.

    • You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
