Nissan Z33-D owner manual Precautions When Starting and Driving, Exhaust GAS Carbon monoxide

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING

￿Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent opera- tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.

￿Properly secure all cargo to help pre- vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat- backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per- sonal injury. (Coupe models)

￿Closely supervise children when they are around cars to prevent them from playing and becoming locked in the trunk where they could be seriously injured. Keep the car locked with the trunk closed when not in use, and

prevent children’s access to car keys. (Roadster models)

EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon mon- oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.

￿If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately.

￿Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage.

￿Do not park the vehicle with the en- gine running for any extended length of time.

￿Keep the rear hatch/trunk lid closed while driving, otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the pas-

senger compartment. If you must drive with the rear hatch/trunk lid open, follow these precautions:

1.Open all the windows.

2.Set the air recirculation mode OFF and the fan control at the maxi- mum position to circulate the air.

￿If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the rear hatch/trunk lid or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.

￿If a special body, camper, or other equipment is added for recreational or other usage, follow the manufac- turer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the ve- hicle. Some recreational vehicle ap- pliances such as stoves, refrigera- tors, heaters, etc. may also generate carbon monoxide.
