Kia Picanto: Driving your vehicle / Engine Exhaust can be dangerous
WARNING
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.
- Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
that can cause unconsciousness
and death by asphyxiation.
- 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 authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
- 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.
- 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 windshield are kept
clear of snow, ice, leaves or other
obstructions.
Before entering vehicle
Be sure that all windows, outside
mirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
