Subaru Forester: Driving tips / Engine exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
- Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is dangerous,
or even lethal, if inhaled.
- Always properly maintain the engine
exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle.
- Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it.
- Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle
for a lengthy time while the
engine is running. If that is unavoidable,
then use the ventilation
fan to force fresh air into the
vehicle.
- Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system always
works properly.
- If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.
- Keep the rear gate closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
NOTE
Due to the expansion and contraction
of the metals used in the manufacture
of the exhaust system, you may hear a
crackling sound coming from the exhaust
system for a short time after the
engine has been shut off. This sound is
normal.
The catalytic converter is installed in the
exhaust system. It serves as a catalyst to
reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust gases,
thus providing cleaner exhaust...
