Carbon Monoxide Gas

• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise. • The exhaust system may have been damaged. • The vehicle is raised for an oil change.

If you must drive with the trunk open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below. 1. Select the fresh air mode. 2. Select the mode. 3. Set the fan speed to high. 4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting. Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running.
