Exhaust fumes and checks

• Don't run the engine in a garage or enclosed space except to drive in or out.
• Avoid sitting in a parked car with the engine running for long. If you must, park in an open area and set the climate control to bring in outside air.
• Keep the boot door closed while driving – an open boot can let exhaust fumes in.
• Keep the air intake grilles clear of snow and leaves so the ventilation works properly.
• If you smell exhaust fumes inside, open the windows and have the car checked.
• Make sure the exhaust has no holes or loose joints, and have it checked regularly.

Have the exhaust checked if…

• You smell exhaust fumes.
• The exhaust sounds different.
• The exhaust has been damaged in a collision.
• The car is raised for inspection or repair.
