Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
| WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is
colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of
consciousness and
death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows
fully open and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area: Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur. Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when idling the engine: Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur. Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before starting the engine: Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occupants in the cabin. |
