They could accidently injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation 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. Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time. Keep the rear door and flip-up rear window closed while driving, otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive in this manner for some reason, take the following steps. Set the air recirculate switch to off and the fan control dial at four (high) to circulate the air. If electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass to a trailer through a seal on the body, follow the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle. The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever: a. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
