Caution: Snow can trap engine exhaust under the vehicle. This may cause exhaust gases to get inside. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.

If the vehicle is stuck in the snow:

   • Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking the exhaust pipe.
   • Check again from time to time to be sure snow does not collect there.
   • Open a window about two inches (5 cm) on the side of the vehicle that is away from the wind to bring in fresh air.
   • Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel.
   • Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting that circulates the air inside the vehicle and set the fan speed to the highest setting. See Climate Control System in the Index.
For more information about carbon monoxide, see Engine Exhaust.

Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. You cannot see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking the exhaust.
