(parking garages, tunnels,
deep snow that may block
underbody airflow or tail
pipes).
- The exhaust smells or
sounds strange or different.
- The exhaust system leaks
due to corrosion or damage.
- The vehicle exhaust system
has been modified,
damaged, or improperly
repaired.
- There are holes or openings
in the vehicle body from
damage or aftermarket
modifications that are not
completely sealed.
If unusual fumes are detected or
if it is suspected that exhaust is
coming into the vehicle:
- Drive it only with the
windows completely down.
- Have the vehicle repaired
immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the
engine running in an enclosed
area such as a garage or a
building that has no fresh air
ventilation.
