ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you
smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
䳜 Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that
can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
䳜 Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to
change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound
of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath
side of the vehicle, have the system checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
䳜 Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is
a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than
it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
䳜 Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people
inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set
at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is
drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open because you are carrying objects
that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or
"Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation
air intakes located just in front of the windscreen are kept clear of snow, ice,
leaves or other obstructions.
